The scope of our research is the spectral characterization of physiological and non perfused organs and tissues. Using hyperspectral imaging, we hope to be able to reliably identify and differentiate non perfusion states in different tissues and establish this technology as a new diagnostic pillar in medicine to close existing diagnostic gaps. Current experimental challenges for the spectral characterization of non perfused organs were firstly the lack of experimental protocols for the standardized induction of different non perfusion states, as well as the aim for reversibility.

Our results have paved the way for scientific research questions regarding the systematic investigation of the effect of visceral malperfusion on a biomolecular, spectral, and medical, as well as surgical level with the opportunity for a high temporal resolution as well as reversibility of the malperfusion state.
