Introducing Our Latest Medical Advancement – To Access the Liver Health by FIBROSCAN
We are excited to announce the arrival of our brand-new Expert 630 FibroScan, imported directly from Echosens, France. FibroScan offers a painless and non-invasive alternative to liver biopsy, providing quick and accurate results in just minutes. This technology allows for real-time measurement of Liver Fibrosis and Steatosis, enabling early detection of liver conditions such as Liver Stiffness, Spleen Stiffness, Liver Fibrosis, Cirrhosis of Liver and fat content in Fatty Liver. FibroScan is recognized for its reliability in assessing liver health, helping to identify potential issues at an early stage for more effective management and treatment.
Why Choose FibroScan?
FibroScan is widely used in Hepatology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, and General Medical Practices for effective liver disease management. It is considered as a valuable alternative to liver biopsy due to its simplicity, speed, and patient comfort.
With its latest software and advanced diagnostic capabilities, the Expert 630 model FIBROSCAN provides clinicians with cutting-edge tools for precise liver health evaluation.
Who Should Get FibroScan?
FibroScan is recommended for individuals with:
- Hepatitis B or C infection
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Fatty liver disease
- Liver disease due to prolonged alcohol consumption
- Unexplained abnormal liver function tests
How FibroScan Works?
FibroScan utilizes Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) and Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) technology to provide a non-invasive, real-time assessment of liver health.
Liver Fibrosis Assessment – Measures liver stiffness using low-frequency vibrations to detect fibrosis.
Fatty Liver Detection – Assesses liver fat content with CAP technology, aiding in the diagnosis of fatty liver disease.
Spleen Stiffness Measurement – Helps evaluate portal hypertension and supports variceal surveillance.
Key Advantages of FibroScan?
Non-invasive: No needle injection, no surgery, and no need for a biopsy. FibroScan offers a completely comfortable and painless liver screening experience.
No radiation exposure: Similar to an ultrasound, FibroScan does not expose you to any radiation.
Quick assessment: The procedure takes just a few minutes usually around 10 to 15 minutes, providing fast and accurate results to assess your liver health efficiently.
Cost effectiveness: Less expensive than liver biopsies and the cost of hospitalization required for the procedure.
