Performance of spleen stiffness measurement by 2D-shear wave elastography in evaluating the presence of high-risk varices: comparative analysis of idiopathic portal hypertension versus hepatitis B virus [PDF]

BMC Medical Imaging, 2023
Background Noninvasive assessment of high-risk varices (HRV) in idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is rare. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of spleen stiffness (SS) for evaluating the presence of HRV in IPH patients as ...

Diagnostic performance of ARFI ultrasound elastography in spleen stiffness measurement to predict esophageal varices [PDF]

Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
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.

Spleen stiffness measurement predicts decompensation and rules out high-risk oesophageal varices in primary biliary cholangitis [PDF]

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) may lead to portal hypertension (PH). Spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) by vibration-controlled transient elastography accurately predicts PH.
