Advanced, Non-Invasive Liver Assessment
FibroScan and Shear Wave Elastography are advanced, non-invasive imaging techniques used to assess liver stiffness (fibrosis) and liver fat content (steatosis). They play a vital role in the evaluation, staging, and long-term monitoring of chronic liver diseases—without the need for a painful liver biopsy. These tests provide accurate, quantitative results, helping doctors detect liver damage early and guide timely treatment.
FibroScan and Shear Wave Elastography are recommended when blood tests, ultrasound, or clinical symptoms suggest underlying liver disease, or when ongoing monitoring is required.
They help to:
FibroScan measures liver stiffness using transient elastography, allowing accurate assessment of fibrosis severity.
It is commonly used in:
The Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) technology within FibroScan precisely quantifies liver fat, enabling early diagnosis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease—even before symptoms appear.
Shear Wave Elastography is an ultrasound-based technique that measures liver tissue elasticity in real time.
Key advantages:
It is particularly useful for monitoring treatment response and disease progression over time.
These tests can be safely repeated whenever required.
Identifying liver fibrosis early allows:
