Diagnostic performance of ARFI ultrasound elastography in spleen stiffness measurement to predict esophageal varices
Background: Presence esophageal varices are an independent predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Non-invasive assessment of cirrhotic patients to predict esophageal varices have been increasingly used instead of endoscopy. The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic performance of...
