Is it true that ultrasound techniques are used as a first-line diagnostic tool when portal hypertension is suspected?

Yes. Ultrasound techniques, including Doppler and elastography, serve as standard non-invasive first-line tools for evaluating and screening portal hypertension.

The analysis

Multiple retrieved papers explicitly confirm that ultrasound and its modalities (Doppler, elastography) act as the primary, non-invasive imaging tools used when screening for or assessing liver disease and portal hypertension. There are no papers refuting this claim.
