Three measurements.
One liver assessment.
Combining standard ultrasound, elastography and Doppler gives a fuller assessment of liver health than any one test alone. Phoenix supports NHS liver services with this work.
Shear Wave Elastography
Measure liver stiffness, which reflects fibrosis (scarring).
Colour Doppler
Blood flow in the portal vein, hepatic veins and hepatic artery.
Gallbladder & spleen
Gallstones and spleen size, which can change with liver disease.
IN DETAIL
Liver Ultrasound+Colour Doppler+Fibrosis Scan
The Liver Fibrosis Multi-Parametric Ultrasound Scan uses advanced imaging technologies to provide a comprehensive view of your liver’s structure and function. This scan is highly recommended for diagnosing various liver conditions, monitoring chronic liver disease, and informing treatment decisions. By combining a Liver Doppler Scan and Shearwave Elastography, we deliver a holistic assessment of liver health.
1. Liver Doppler Scan
Indication: Measures blood flow in the liver and its major vessels, helping detect abnormalities such as portal hypertension, thrombosis, and other vascular conditions.
Method: Real-time Doppler ultrasound is used to visualize blood flow patterns and velocities. This painless, non-invasive test helps assess liver perfusion and the condition of major veins and arteries.
2. Shearwave Elastography (Liver Fibrosis Scan (Elastography))
Purpose: Quantifies liver stiffness to assess the degree of fibrosis or cirrhosis—essential for diagnosing and monitoring chronic liver disease.
Procedure: A painless and non-invasive technique using shearwave technology to instantly measure liver stiffness. Results provide a reliable indicator of liver fibrosis, replacing the need for invasive biopsies in many cases.
Why Choose the Liver Fibrosis Multi-Parametric Ultrasound Scan?
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Combines structural and functional imaging for a complete liver assessment.
- Safe and Non-Invasive: No radiation or needles involved, making it suitable for regular monitoring.
- Real-Time Results: Immediate feedback on liver blood flow and stiffness.
- Supports Treatment Decisions: Invaluable in planning management strategies for chronic liver disease, hepatitis, NAFLD, or cirrhosis.
If you are being monitored for liver disease or need a thorough evaluation of your liver’s condition, this advanced scan can provide essential insights. Schedule your appointment today with our expert sonographers for fast, accurate, and compassionate care.
Historically liver elasticity measurements started with the Liver Fibrosis Scan (Elastography) machine, which introduced transient elastography (TE) as the pioneering technique for assessing liver stiffness. Over time, newer and more advanced techniques for liver stiffness assessment have emerged, but the term “Liver Fibrosis Scan (Elastography) ” has become a generic reference for Liver Fibrosis Scan (Elastography) measurements, even when other technologies are used. This widespread usage of “Liver Fibrosis Scan (Elastography) ” as a blanket term for all elastography techniques is technically a misnomer.

Understand the scan
You lie on your back with your right arm raised. Gel is applied and several stiffness readings are taken between the ribs while you briefly hold your breath. It is painless and takes about 40 minutes.
Talk about the next steps
The sonographer talks you through what they have seen, and your written report follows within 24 hours — ready to share with your GP or specialist.

04 / A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERINGYour questions.
Your questions.
Clear answers.
Need something more personal?
Speak to the team before booking.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly. If your GP or specialist has asked for this scan, bring their letter so the sonographer knows what to focus on.
How is this different from a fibrosis scan?
The Liver Fibrosis Scan measures stiffness. The multi-parametric scan adds a full liver assessment and Doppler blood flow.
Why fast?
Eating increases blood flow to the liver and can raise stiffness readings. Fasting gives accurate results.
What if I have severe pain?
Severe tummy pain, a high temperature, vomiting that will not stop or yellowing of the skin needs urgent advice: contact NHS 111 or your GP, or call 999 in an emergency. Do not wait for a private scan.

Preparation, made clear.
- Do not eat for 6 hours before your appointment — an empty stomach gives the clearest view of the upper abdomen.
- Sips of still water are fine; avoid fizzy drinks, milk and chewing gum.
- Take your usual medication unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
- Bring any previous scans, reports or doctor’s letters so the sonographer can compare and focus on what matters.
Booking this alongside another scan? Each scan keeps its own preparation. If anything is unclear, call us on 020 3318 1373 before your visit.
