FibroScan Dual Function Liver Testing:

FibroScan is a proven technology used for non-invasive examinations of your liver. FDA cleared and clinically validated by over 2,000 peer-reviewed publications, FibroScan works by emitting a small pulse of energy, called a shear wave, which will feel like a light tap on your skin. FibroScan calculates the speed of this energy as it travels through your liver and translates that speed with two scores that your care provider will use to determine the overall health of your liver. The first score is a measure of your livers stiffness, the second score approximates liver fat. The combination of these scores gives your health care provider a better understanding of your liver’s overall health and how it changes over time with lifestyle or medical intervention. FibroScan examinations are painless, quick, and easy. During measurement, you will feel a slight vibration on the skin at the tip of the probe. FibroScan probes are adapted to fit most body-types and to all ages, from pediatric to adults. FibroScan examinations can take as little as ten minutes to complete.
