[Research progress of cirrhotic portal hypertension in diagnostic imaging methods]

Hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement via jugular vein catheterization is still currently the gold standard for evaluating portal hypertension. However, how to accurately and reproducibly assess whether there is portal hypertension has always been a concern in patients with liver cirrhosis. In recent years, imaging methods have made significant progress in the non-invasive diagnosis of portal hypertension. This paper reviews the current different diagnostic value of imaging methods and related research progress in an attempt to evaluate patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.
