Measuring the Fat Content of the Liver for Transplantation Medicine

  • Conference paper
Advances in Medical Engineering

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 114))

Abstract

For a successful transplantation the fat content of the liver is an important parameter for the suitability of the graft. In a cooperation between the university hospitals Essen and Cologne and the RheinAhrCampus Remagen of the University of Applied Sciences Koblenz, the potentialities of electrical measurement of the liver fat content were investigated.
