Contrast-Enhanced CT May Be a Diagnostic Alternative for Gastroesophageal Varices in Cirrhosis with and without Previous Endoscopic Variceal Therapy

<div>Bar charts showing the rates of spared endoscopy and missed varices by contrast-enhanced CT for predicting the presence of EVNTs and GVNTs in different population. (a) Performance in <i>primary prophylaxis population</i>. (b) Performance in <i>acute bleeding population</i>. (c) Performance in <i>previous bleeding population</i>. (d) Performance in <i>secondary prophylaxis population</i>. CT: computed tomography; EVNTs: esophageal varices needing treatment; GVNTs: gastric varices needing treatment.</div>
