What Is FibroScan?
FibroScan is a modern, non-invasive test used to evaluate liver fibrosis and steatosis. It uses ultrasound-based technology to quickly and accurately assess liver health, often replacing the need for a liver biopsy.
FibroScan works by sending painless vibrations into the liver and measuring the speed of wave propagation. This helps determine the stiffness (fibrosis) and fat content (steatosis) of the liver, guiding treatment decisions in liver disease.
Who Needs FibroScan?
- This test is often advised for individuals with:
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Hepatitis B or C
- Obesity or diabetes-related liver concerns

What Happens During the FibroScan Procedure?
Preparation
You’ll lie down comfortably with your right abdomen exposed. No anesthesia is needed.
Probe Placement
A probe (like an ultrasound wand) is gently placed on the skin over the liver area.
Shear Wave Emission
Painless vibrations are sent into the liver to measure how stiff or fatty the tissue is.
Instant Readout
Results are available almost immediately, with no waiting or lab processing delays.
Non Invasive Advantage
Unlike liver biopsy, FibroScan involves no needles, making it safer and stress-free.
Common Conditions Assessed with FibroScan
FibroScan helps detect liver diseases at a reversible stage supporting better outcomes with timely action.
Fatty Liver Disease
Measures the degree of fat accumulation in the liver, essential for staging NAFLD.
Liver Fibrosis
Quantifies liver stiffness to detect early scarring and monitor progression.
Cirrhosis
Assesses advanced liver stiffness to help manage cirrhosis without biopsy.
Hepatitis B & C
Tracks chronic viral hepatitis effects on liver health and treatment response.
Alcoholic Liver Disease
Monitors fibrosis and fat buildup in patients with a history of alcohol use.
