PurposePortal hypertension, a major complication of chronic liver disease, leads to significant morbidity and mortality. While portal vein diameter measured on imaging has long been proposed as a non-invasive marker of portal hypertension, normative CT-based reference values and population-level associations remain incompletely characterized. Here, we aim to define contemporary reference values for portal vein diameter on clinically obtained CT and evaluate its associations with demographic, cli...
