Abstract

Commentary on "A Vein-viewing Application Enabled Detecting Abdominal Wall Varices Related to the Presence of Non-treated Gastroesophageal Varices: A Cross-sectional Study"

Takaaki Sugihara*

As mobile devices evolve into medical tools, this study specifically investigates the potential of a vein-viewing application to identify gastroesophageal varices (GOV), a critical complication of cirrhosis. The results showcase the efficacy of the application in detecting Abdominal Wall Varices (AWV) associated with cirrhosis and GOV. Notably; AWV grading is significantly higher in vein-weighted images than un-manipulated images, emphasizing the application's capability to enhance visualization. Using mobile devices for AWV detection presents promising prospects for non-invasive screening methods for liver disease.
