Abstract: The system for the qualitative evaluation of human organs includes: a camera (101) for capturing an image of the organ, the organ being in the donor's body or already collected or placed in a hypothermic, normothermic and/or subnormothermic graft infusion machine at the time of image capture; an image processor (103, 104) configured to extract at least a portion of the organ image from the captured image and an estimator (103, 104) for estimating, from the extracted image, the health of the organ. In some embodiments, the device also includes a means of introducing into the donor's body at least one optical window of the image capture means as well as a light source to illuminate the donor's organ, while maintaining the sterility of the surgical field. In some embodiments, the image processor involves applying a clipping mask to the captured image.

Abstract: This method for qualitatively evaluating human livers comprises: a step (301) of computing normalized histograms of colour channels from a portion of a photograph of a liver; a step (304) of loading coefficients obtained at the end of a training phase; a step (305) of extracting from the histograms values corresponding to variables retained at the end of the training phase; a step (306) of computing a linear combination of the extracted values weighted with the loaded coefficients; and a step (308, 309) of displaying information representative of the result of the computation of the linear combination.
