Apparatuses, systems, and methods for rapid on-site multiscale multimodal donor organ viability factor characterization

An apparatus comprising:

• an organ viability analysis instrument comprising:
• an in situ organ interrogation module comprising a positioned photoacoustic array with predetermined spectral and directional laser excitation and acoustic response signal capabilities selected based on an organ type and respective viability factors for an organ in its natural location within a body by performing photoacoustic computational imaging, the photoacoustic array configured to produce one or more first sets of organ response data related to the viability factors for the in situ organ;
• an ex vivo organ interrogation module comprising:
• a stationary photoacoustic array with predetermined spectral and directional laser excitation and acoustic response signal capabilities selected based on organ type and respective viability factors for an ex vivo organ received in an acoustic coupling nest, the photoacoustic array configured to produce one or more second sets of organ response data related to viability factors by performing photoacoustic, multispectral scanning;
• and
• one or more direct measurement sensors configured to perform one or more of gravimetric, dimensional, and environmental measurements related to viability factors for ex vivo organ using respective non-wave-based modalities.
