A FibroScan, also known as transient elastography, is a non-invasive medical test used to assess the stiffness and fibrosis (scarring) of the liver. It is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring liver diseases, particularly chronic liver conditions such as cirrhosis and fatty liver disease.
It's important to note that while FibroScan is a valuable diagnostic tool, it is not a stand-alone test, and results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data. It is a safe and well-tolerated procedure, and it provides quick results, making it a useful tool for assessing liver health and making informed decisions regarding patient care. However, its availability may vary depending on the healthcare facility and region.
