What is a FibroScan

A FibroScan is a non-invasive medical device used to assess liver stiffness and fat content, helping diagnose conditions like liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease.

  • How it works

    FibroScan uses transient elastography, a form of ultrasound technology.  It sends a painless vibration through the liver and measures how quickly the wave travels.  Stiffer liver tissue (due to scarring or fibrosis) transmits the wave faster.

  • Why it's used

    ·        Detect liver fibrosis (scarring)

    ·        Monitor progression of chronic liver diseases

    ·        Assess fatty liver content

  • Advantages

    ·        Non-invasive (no needles or surgery)

    ·        Quick (usually 10-15 minutes)

    ·        Painless

    ·        Immediate results

    ·        Useful alternative to liver biopsy

  • Preparing for a FibroScan

    ·        Do not eat or drink anything (except water) for at least 3 hours before the procedure.

    ·        Wear loose, comfortable clothing so the technician can easily access your upper abdomen
