AIM: To determine feasibility and reliability of the integrated Tele-Radiological (TRE) and Tele-Pathological (TPE) evaluation of the Liver Graft (LG) on Telemedicine Systems (TS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A sensitivity-specificity analysis by a simulation of the TRE of LG on 15 MR abdominal images by a radiologist and of the TPE of LG by 26 specialists based on 130 human LG images assessing damages and lesions. RESULTS: The integrated analysis of TRE and TPE of LG showed: Sensitivity=96.6%, Specificity=100% and Accuracy=97.5%. CONCLUSION: The TRE integrated with the TPE of LG is feasible and reliable for LG transplant decision support and planning.
