Hyperspectral imaging is a real-time noninvasive method to assess renal oxyhemoglobin saturation intraoperatively throughout the kidney. A nadir percent of oxyhemoglobin is attained within 10 minutes of hilar occlusion.
This knowledge may allow future surgical or pharmacological interventions that titrate or minimize ischemic injury in real time.
