Liver Fibroscan
Fibroscan is a non-invasive liver evaluation that measures liver stiffness to estimate fibrosis severity. It helps in early detection, treatment planning, and follow-up in chronic liver disease.
- Recommended in fatty liver, alcohol-related risk, and chronic liver enzyme elevation
- Helpful in Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and follow-up of fibrosis or cirrhosis risk
- No injection and no surgical biopsy cut in routine assessment use
- Useful for serial monitoring and timely treatment decision support
