FibroScan

FibroScan is a non-invasive ultrasound-based technique used to assess liver stiffness, a key indicator of liver fibrosis or scarring. It’s a painless, quick, and relatively inexpensive alternative to a liver biopsy. The test provides numerical results (in kilopascals, kPa) that help doctors understand the extent of liver scarring and assess the health of the liver

FibroScan Testing is a recently FDA-approved non-invasive diagnostic device used to measure liver scarring or fibrosis caused by a number of liver diseases. Similar to undergoing a conventional liver ultrasound exam, outpatient FibroScan testing is quick, painless, easy, and provides a non-surgical alternative to the traditional liver biopsy to assess liver damage.
