Usefulness of virtual touch tissue quantification for predicting the presence of esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

Abstract Background and Aim Measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is an established technique to detect increased portal pressure and predict the presence of esophageal varices (EVs); however, the risk of the test is greater than the information it provides. This study aimed to clari...
