The severity of portal hypertension by a non-invasive assessment: acoustic structure quantification analysis of liver parenchyma

Abstract Background Acoustic structure quantification (ASQ) has been applied to evaluate liver histologic changes by analyzing the speckle pattern seen on B-mode ultrasound. We aimed to assess the severity of portal hypertension (PHT) through hepatic ultrasonography. Methods Sixty patients diagnosed...
