Purpose: To determine whether quantification of liver surface nodularity (LSN) provides an estimate of the presence of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) in patients with cirrhosis.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included a training cohort (n = 189) and separate external validation cohort (n = 78), both composed of patients with cirrhosis who underwent abdominal CT and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement between 2010 and 2016. The LSN score, liver and spleen volumes, liver-to-spleen volume ratio, platelet count to spleen diameter ratio, Iranmanesh score, aspartate amino transferase-to-platelet ratio index, and Fibrosis-4 index were derived from CT images and serum laboratories. The accuracy of the various tests for predicting CSPH was evaluated with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and compared by using the DeLong test. Student t test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used.Results: One hundred eighty-nine patients were analyzed (119 men [mean age 6 standard deviation, 57 years 6 11; range, 29-81 years] and 70 women [mean age, 61 years 6 10; range, 34-83 years]; overall mean age, 58 years 6 10; range, 29-83 years). A total of 102 patients (54%) had CSPH. LSN score correlated with HVPG (r = 0.75; P,
