Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This is an interesting and practical clinical efficacy  of doppler study of the liver of digestive tumors in order to evaluate their estension

Our study shows that visceral Doppler for calculating blood flow in AHC, AHP, and PV can be a reliable and reproducible test to conclusively re-examine the prognostic value of DPI in relation to the development of liver metastases.

In visceral Doppler of the vessels treated here, obtaining measurement data of good, and thus reproducible, quality is less dependent on the availability of a high-end device.

However, years of experience in ultrasound and the willingness to implement the rules known in vascular diagnostics in a disciplined manner are indispensable.
