Elastography, commonly known as Fibro Scan, is a specialized technique used to assess liver stiffness, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of liver diseases. This non-invasive test is particularly useful for patients with chronic liver conditions such as hepatitis and fatty liver disease, as it helps to determine the extent of liver fibrosis (scarring). By measuring the elasticity of liver tissue, Fibro Scan provides a quick and painless alternative to traditional liver biopsy.
The results of Elastography are crucial in guiding the management and treatment of liver disease. By assessing liver stiffness, doctors can make informed decisions about the necessity of further interventions and monitor the effectiveness of treatments over time. This innovative technology is a cornerstone of liver care at Hi-Tech Diagnostic Centre, providing patients with accurate, reliable insights into their liver health without the need for invasive procedures.
