What is a FibroScan?
FibroScan (Transient Elastography) is a modern, non-invasive technology used to assess liver health. It measures liver stiffness (in kilopascals, kPa) to evaluate fibrosis levels and measures fat accumulation through the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP, in dB/m).
Why is FibroScan Superior to Traditional Biopsy for Routine Monitoring?
Unlike invasive liver biopsies, FibroScan is fast, painless, repeatable, and covers a liver volume 100 times larger than a biopsy sample.
