Fibroscan

FIBROSCAN

FibroScan is a non-invasive medical test used to assess liver stiffness and fat content, helping diagnose liver conditions such as fibrosis and fatty liver disease. It uses transient elastography, a specialized ultrasound technology that measures how stiff or elastic the liver tissue is.

Key Uses of FibroScan

✅ Detects liver fibrosis (scarring) due to conditions like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and alcoholic liver disease.
✅ Assesses fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH).
✅ Helps monitor cirrhosis progression.
✅ Provides an alternative to liver biopsy, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
