A novel model to predict esophageal varices in patients with compensated cirrhosis using acoustic radiation force impulse elastography.

A novel model to predict esophageal varices in patients with compensated cirrhosis using acoustic radiation force impulse elastography.

Few noninvasive methods can accurately identify esophageal varices (EVs) in patients with compensated cirrhosis. We developed and validated a novel, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography-based prediction model for high-risk EVs (HEVs) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.A total of...
