What is a USG FIBRO SCAN/ELASTOGRAPHY?

USG FibroScan / Elastography is a non-invasive ultrasound examination that measures liver stiffness to assess fibrosis (scarring) and, in many cases, liver fat. It helps diagnose and monitor fatty liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other chronic liver conditions without the need for a biopsy.

FAQs

What is USG FibroScan / Elastography?

USG FibroScan / Elastography is a non-invasive, painless ultrasound-based examination that measures liver stiffness (elasticity) to assess liver fibrosis (scarring) and, in many cases, estimate the amount of fat in the liver.

Why is USG FibroScan / Elastography performed?

It is performed to diagnose, stage, and monitor chronic liver diseases, including fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH), hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcohol-related liver disease, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

What does the examination measure?

The examination measures liver stiffness, which reflects the degree of fibrosis (scarring). Many FibroScan systems can also estimate liver fat (hepatic steatosis).

Can FibroScan detect fatty liver disease?

Yes. FibroScan can help detect fat accumulation in the liver and assess its severity, making it useful in the evaluation of fatty liver disease.

Can FibroScan be used to monitor treatment?

Yes. FibroScan is commonly used to monitor changes in liver stiffness and fat content over time, helping assess disease progression and response to treatment.
