Liver Shearwave Elastography, or FibroScan, is a non-invasive scan that measures liver stiffness to assess liver health. It helps diagnose conditions such as fibrosis and cirrhosis without the need for a liver biopsy.
FibroScan is useful for both diagnosing and monitoring liver conditions. Itβs especially recommended for:
β Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: Ideal for monitoring conditions like hepatitis B or C, NAFLD, alcoholic liver disease, and autoimmune hepatitis. It provides a clear picture of fibrosis levels and guides treatment planning.
β At-Risk Individuals: Those with obesity, diabetes, high alcohol intake, or prior liver injury benefit from early fibrosis detection and timely intervention.
β Liver Transplant Recipients: Helps assess the condition of the transplanted liver, detect post-operative complications, and guide ongoing care.
β Early Detection: Identifies liver disease in its early stages for prompt intervention.
β Track Disease Progression: Monitors changes in liver stiffness to evaluate treatment response or progression.
β Eliminates the Need for Biopsy: Offers a safe and comfortable alternative to liver biopsy.
β Individuals with obesity, diabetes, high alcohol consumption, or hepatitis viruses.
β Patients being followed for known liver disease like NAFLD or chronic hepatitis.
β Anyone needing a non-invasive method to evaluate liver stiffness and fat content.
β Non-Invasive & Safe: No needles, no painβjust accurate insights.
β Fast & Convenient: Completed in minutes with instant results.
β Reliable Fibrosis Staging: Measures liver stiffness and correlates with fibrosis stages (F0βF4).
β Tracks Chronic Conditions: Effective for hepatitis B/C, NAFLD/NASH, and alcohol-related liver disease.
If you are concerned about your liver health or fall into any of the at-risk groups, Liver Shearwave Elastography (FibroScan) is a critical diagnostic tool. Schedule your scan today for expert care and fast, accurate results.
