Abstract
Our study introduced a custom-built portable Raman system to non-invasively evaluate hepatic steatosis, specifically macrovesicular steatosis, in human liver samples. Using a dual-validation approach with both biochemical and histopathological methods, our preliminary results showed promising correlations between Raman-derived measurements and traditional metrics. Additionally, by integrating supplementary reflectance data, we devised a predictive model that effectively pinpointed discrepancies in liver fat content assessments. This method promises to enhance the accuracy of donor liver evaluations, potentially improving transplant outcomes.
