Understanding FibroScan
FibroScan is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate liver stiffness and fat content. It
helps in diagnosing liver conditions such as fibrosis and fatty liver disease by measuring the
stiffness of liver tissue using ultrasound-based elastography.
Conditions Diagnosed with FibroScan
FibroScan is commonly used to assess and monitor various liver conditions, including:
 Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD and AFLD)
 Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis
 Hepatitis B and C
 Alcoholic Liver Disease
 Liver-related metabolic disorders
How FibroScan Works
The FibroScan device emits a painless pulse of energy through the liver, measuring the speed of
the wave to determine liver stiffness. The results provide valuable information about the liver's
elasticity and fat accumulation, helping doctors make informed decisions about your liver
health.

What to Expect During the FibroScan Procedure
The FibroScan procedure is simple and typically takes about 10-15 minutes. You will be asked
to lie down, and a small probe will be placed on your abdomen to assess liver stiffness. The
procedure is painless, and you can resume your daily activities immediately afterward.

Results and Interpretation
Your results will be analyzed by our specialists, who will explain the findings and recommend
the next steps based on your liver condition. If necessary, additional tests or treatments may be
advised to ensure optimal liver health.
