A FibroScan liver elastography test is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to measure liver stiffness and assess fat accumulation in the liver. This test plays a crucial role in detecting liver fibrosis and liver scarring, both of which are common consequences of chronic liver disease. By identifying early signs of stiff liver tissue or fat buildup, the scan can help evaluate the extent of diseased tissue and support timely intervention. Compared to invasive biopsies or more complex imaging tests like magnetic resonance elastography or magnetic resonance imaging, FibroScan offers a quick, comfortable, and efficient alternative.
FibroScan offers a rapid, non-invasive way to evaluate liver health and detect complications such as liver fibrosis, liver inflammation, and fat buildup that could lead to fatty liver disease. It allows clinicians to track scar tissue formation and determine whether chronic liver disease is progressing or stabilizing.
Unlike an invasive biopsy procedure, which samples a small portion of tissue, this scan assesses a broader area and identifies variations in blood flow, liver stiffness, and tissue quality. It’s ideal for repeated use, especially when monitoring patients at risk of liver failure or other serious health problems.
While FibroScan is highly useful, its accuracy may decrease in people with obesity or excess abdominal fluid—factors that can affect liver stiffness readings. In such cases, more advanced tests such as magnetic resonance elastography or CT and MRI scans (CT and MRI scan) may be considered for a more detailed view.
If you’re managing a liver condition or want to proactively monitor your health, FibroScan can help identify liver scarring, track diseased tissue, and guide your care plan.
