Our FibroScan ultrasound offers a quick, comfortable way to assess your liver health without the need for invasive procedures. Our experienced sonographers can do advanced FibroScan assessments to help evaluate liver stiffness and fat accumulation, supporting the early detection and monitoring of liver disease. And if you have a medical referral. we also offer bulk bill FibroScan ultrasound appointments for eligible patients.
What Is a Liver FibroScan?
Wondering what a liver FibroScan test actually does? A liver FibroScan is a specialised, non-invasive scan that measures the stiffness of your liver using ultrasound technology. If your liver is very stiff, it may indicate fibrosis, while if there’s fat accumulation in the liver, it can be associated with fatty liver disease. A Liver FibroScan test can help your doctor assess liver conditions, monitor disease progression and plan the treatment accordingly.
Unlike a liver biopsy, a FibroScan ultrasound does not involve needles or surgery. It is a quick, painless procedure performed in the comfort of an ultrasound clinic, allowing your doctor to gain valuable information about your liver health while minimising discomfort.
Who May Need a Liver FibroScan?
Liver problems are often difficult to detect as there are no overly noticeable signs. If you have an existing liver condition that requires monitoring or a family history of liver diseases, in that case, your doctor may ask you to get a FibroScan to check your liver condition. However, doctors can also check your symptoms and may recommend a FibroScan if they suspect liver issues like:
- Fatty liver disease or suspected fatty liver
- Abnormal liver function test results
- Chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Alcohol-related liver disease
- Type 2 diabetes or obesity
- Metabolic syndrome
A Fatty liver FibroScan can help identify changes in liver health early, so that your doctor can recommend appropriate treatment or suggest any changes in your lifestyle before the damage becomes more serious.
What Can a FibroScan Help Assess?
A FibroScan can assess your liver’s current health. So, your doctor might ask you to get this scan done if they want information about your symptoms or to support their assessment of your liver health. It can help your doctor with:
- Liver fibrosis diagnosis
- Measuring liver stiffness
- Assessing fatty liver disease
- Monitoring chronic liver conditions
- Evaluating the progression of liver fibrosis
- Supporting treatment planning and ongoing management
With the results of this Liver FibroScan test alongside your medical history, symptoms, and any additional tests done together, your doctor can get a complete picture of your liver health and interpret your condition accurately.
