Fibroscan – Advanced Liver Assessment
Fibroscan is a cutting-edge, non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess liver health by measuring fibrosis (scarring) and steatosis (fat accumulation). This innovative procedure uses transient elastography , a technology that evaluates liver stiffness, providing critical insights into conditions such as chronic hepatitis , non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) , and alcohol-related liver damage . Fibroscan is a safer, quicker alternative to traditional liver biopsies, offering a painless and accurate way to assess liver health.
The procedure is simple, taking only a few minutes to perform. Patients lie comfortably while a small probe is placed on the skin over the liver. The probe sends painless vibrations through the liver, measuring its elasticity and fat content. The results are immediate, allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment planning.
