FibroScan (Liver Elastography)
FibroScan is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic procedure that measures liver stiffness to assess liver fibrosis and fat content. It’s an advanced alternative to liver biopsy for evaluating chronic liver conditions such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis B and C, and cirrhosis. Using ultrasound-based technology, FibroScan provides immediate results and helps in monitoring liver health over time. It is ideal for early detection and disease progression tracking, allowing for timely treatment interventions.
