Understanding Fibroscan

Fibroscan is a revolutionary diagnostic technique that uses transient elastography to measure the stiffness of the liver. It helps in assessing the degree of liver fibrosis, a condition where excessive scar tissue accumulates in the liver due to inflammation and liver-related diseases. Additionally, Fibroscan can also detect liver steatosis, a condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver.

The Importance of Non-Invasive Assessment

Traditionally, liver biopsies were the standard method to assess liver fibrosis and steatosis, but they came with certain limitations, including invasiveness and associated risks. With Fibroscan, patients can now benefit from a non-invasive and painless alternative that provides quick and accurate results, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
