Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage kidney disease. Before transplantation, the kidney has to be carefully evaluated. In this study, we investigate the added value of photoacoustic imaging (PA) employed for kidney quality evaluation. Specifically, the oxygenation of the pig kidney was quantified and used as the quality metric. We quantified the oxygenation of perfused kidneys separated between control and experimental (with induced necrosis) groups. The preliminary results suggest that the oxygenation level can be a valuable metric of kidney quality.
