PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) has been used to rank liver transplant candidates since 2002, and at the time bringing much needed objectivity to the liver allocation process. However, and despite numerous revisions to...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to propose a method for segmentation and volume measurement of graft liver and spleen of pediatric transplant recipients on digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) -format images using U-Net and t...

In 2014, we reported a model for donor-recipient (D-R) matching in liver transplantation (LT) based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) from a Spanish multicenter study (Model for Allocation of Donor and Recipient in EspaƱa [MADR-E]). The aim is to ...
BACKGROUND: The ability to predict graft failure or primary nonfunction at liver transplant decision time assists utilization of scarce resource of donor livers, while ensuring that patients who are urgently requiring a liver transplant are prioritiz...
OBJECTIVE: Create an efficient decision-support model to assist medical experts in the process of organ allocation in liver transplantation. The mathematical model proposed here uses different sources of information to predict the probability of orga...
