Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Digital Pathology

Background:

  • Liver transplantation is limited by organ shortages.
  • High discard rates of steatotic livers contribute to this shortage.
  • Current histologic assessment of steatosis is subjective and image-dependent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated digital algorithm for calculating histologic steatosis.
  • To utilize smartphone-captured liver biopsy images for steatosis assessment.
  • To address the bottleneck in subjective pathologist evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Smartphone images of liver histology slides were captured using a light microscope.
  • An automated algorithm was designed to quantify steatotic droplets, excluding artifacts.
  • Algorithm's steatosis estimates were compared to pathologist assessments from 80 liver transplant patients.

Main Results:

  • Interobserver agreement among pathologists was low, improving with specialist training.
  • A significant linear relationship was observed between the algorithm and expert pathologists' steatosis estimates.
  • Expert pathologists consistently provided higher steatosis estimates than the algorithm.

Conclusions:

  • Smartphone images and a digital algorithm can reliably measure liver steatosis.
  • This technology offers a proof of concept for improved organ utilization.
  • Integration into transplant workflows may enhance organ acceptance rates.
