Fibroscan
The buildup of fat cells in fatty liver disease causes scarring, called fibrosis. One way of measuring the
severity of fatty liver disease is to measure the fibrosis present in the liver. Fibrosis causes stiffness in the
liver tissue.
FibroScan, also called transient elastography, measures the speed of ultrasound waves as they move through
the liver. The ultrasound waves move at different speeds through normal liver tissue and areas of fibrosis.
Results of a FibroScan are available immediately following the scan. Your doctor can interpret the results,
and, together, you can make a plan for treatment or further testing, if needed.
