FibroScan testing is quick, painless, easy, and provides a non-surgical alternative to the traditional liver biopsy to assess liver damage.

Your physician may recommend a FibroScan test if you have one of the following chronic liver conditions:

Autoimmune Hepatitis Cirrhosis Genetic Diseases (such as Hemochromatosis and Wilson’s Disease) Hepatitis B Hepatitis C Alcoholic Liver Disease Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)

What to expect once you arrive for the Test:

FibroScan requires no sedation of any kind. The procedure takes about 5 minutes.

A medical provider will apply a water-based gel to your skin, then will place a non-invasive probe over your liver

During the exam, you may feel a slight vibration on the skin at the tip of the probe as it delivers ultrasound waves to the area for measuring purposes.
