Introduction

Fibroscan, also known as transient elastography, is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess liver fibrosis. At Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre, Meerut, under the expert guidance of Dr. Shalabh Bansal, Fibroscan provides a reliable and accurate method for evaluating liver damage without the need for a liver biopsy. By measuring liver stiffness, Fibroscan helps in diagnosing and monitoring liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hepatitis B and C, and cirrhosis.

Ideal Candidates for Fibroscan

Fibroscan is particularly beneficial for individuals with:

  • Chronic liver conditions
  • Elevated liver enzymes
  • Risk factors for liver disease, such as obesity, diabetes, or excessive alcohol consumption
  • History of hepatitis B or C infection

Fibroscan Preparations

No specific preparations are usually required for a Fibroscan. However, it's essential to inform Dr. Shalabh Bansal about any medications you are taking, as some might affect the liver.

Fibroscan FAQs at Tesla Imaging & Diagnostic Centre, Meerut

Fibroscan is a painless procedure. You may experience slight discomfort from the pressure of the probe on your abdomen.

A Fibroscan typically takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.

While Fibroscan is a valuable tool for assessing liver fibrosis, it cannot completely replace a liver biopsy in all cases. In some instances, a liver biopsy may be recommended for further evaluation.

Fibroscan is a highly accurate non-invasive method for assessing liver fibrosis. However, the accuracy can be influenced by factors such as obesity and ascites.

Fibroscan is primarily used to assess liver fibrosis, not to detect liver cancer. Other imaging tests, such as ultrasound or CT scans, may be necessary for cancer screening.
