Fibroscan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool designed to assess liver health. Fibroscan measures the stiffness of liver tissue using innovative elastography technology, providing valuable information on the extent of fibrosis and cirrhosis without the need for a traditional biopsy. This quick and painless procedure has become a crucial asset in the management of liver diseases by providing a reliable and effective way to assess liver health.

What is Fibroscan Used For?

Fibroscan is used as a diagnostic tool to assess liver fibrosis and cirrhosis and provides important information for the assessment and monitoring of various liver conditions. It is commonly used in the management of chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis B and C, fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease. Physicians use Fibroscan results to determine the severity of liver damage, guide treatment decisions and monitor the progression or regression of liver fibrosis over time. With its non-invasive nature and rapid results, Fibroscan has revolutionised the way healthcare professionals approach liver assessments, offering a safer and more patient-friendly alternative to traditional biopsy methods.
