Noninvasive prediction of high-risk esophageal varices by spleen and liver stiffness measurements using sound touch elastography

Background and aims: Noninvasive assessments play a crucial role in ruling out high-risk esophageal varices (HREV) in cirrhotic patients. However, the value of sound touch elastography (STE) in predicting HREV has not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to establish predic...
