Core Tip

Core Tip: Based on enhanced computed tomography images of patients with cirrhosis and independent clinical risk factors, we developed a new multi-organ combined radiomic model to predict the risk of esophageal variceal bleeding (EVB) in cirrhotic patients, and analyzed its reproducibility and clinical applicability. This new multi-organ combined prediction model can effectively predict the risk of secondary EVB in cirrhosis and provide some support for patient individualized treatment.
