FibroScan® is the gold standard non-invasive solution for comprehensive management of liver health.
FibroScan® uses shear wave elastography, a non-invasive technique that measures the stiffness of liver tissue. It works by sending a mechanical pulse that generates a wave, whose speed of propagation is analyzed: the stiffer the tissue, the faster the wave travels.
This quick, painless, and needle-free exam is used to assess liver fibrosis and monitor the progression of liver diseases, while reducing the need for a biopsy. Results are expressed in kilopascals (kPa) and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional within their clinical context.
