Fig. 2From: Quantitative measurements of esophageal varices using computed tomography for prediction of severe varices and the risk of bleeding: a preliminary studyModerate EV according to endoscopy in a 74-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis (moderate of endoscopy, maximum minor axis 4.23 mm). a The endoscopic image showed tortuous dilation of varices protruding from the esophageal wall (arrow); b The cross-sectional surface area (CSA) of EV in the transverse section is depicted in 3D slicer; c CSA of EV can be clearly displayed by using 3D slicer measurement tool (dyeing area, arrow); d 3D reconstruction image shows the dilated varices in the lower esophageal (arrow)Back to article page
