(54) Title: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A QUANTITATIVE VOLUMETRIC MAP OF AN ORGAN OR AN ASSESSMENT OF ORGAN HEALTH (57) : A method of providing a quantitative volumetric assessment of organ health or a quantitative map of an organ. The method comprises obtaining a volu- metric map of organ health comprising information defining a state of tissue health across at least part of an organ, receiving an input defining at least one organ section, determining an assessment organ volume based at least partly on the at least one de- fined organ section, calculating an organ-viability measure for the assessment organ volume based at least partly on information within the volumetric map defining the state of tissue health across the organ volume, and outputting an indication of the organ-viability measure. Receive input from user deli ing at least one liver section 130 Determine assessment liver volume 135 Calculate liver-viability measure for assessment liver volume 140 Provide Indication to user of calculated liver-viability measure Yes 150-, Output defined section(s) of liver and calculated liver-viability measure 155 End Figure 1 [Continued on next page] WO 2018/134357 Al MIDEDIMOHNOBEIE30111100111110EMERVOIS Declarations under Rule 4.17: as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted a patent (Rule 4.17(H)) Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
