FibroScan at Southern California Fatty Liver Center (SCFLC)

FibroScan is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive tool used at the Southern California Fatty Liver Center (SCFLC) to assess liver health with precision and ease. This advanced diagnostic technology measures liver stiffness and fat content, providing crucial insights into conditions such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis, and fibrosis.

The FibroScan procedure is simple and painless, often compared to an ultrasound. It uses transient elastography to send harmless sound waves through the liver. These waves measure the speed at which they travel through the liver tissue, determining both stiffness and the level of fat accumulation. Stiffer liver tissue is indicative of scarring or fibrosis, while higher fat content points to fatty liver disease.

Benefits of FibroScan:

  • Non-invasive and Painless: Unlike liver biopsies, FibroScan requires no needles or surgical intervention.
  • Fast and Convenient: The procedure takes just 10-15 minutes, with immediate results.
  • Accurate and Comprehensive: FibroScan provides detailed information on liver stiffness and fat content, offering a clear picture of liver health.
  • Monitoring Disease Progression: FibroScan can be performed regularly to track changes in liver health over time, helping us adjust treatment plans as needed.

At SCFLC, our team of liver specialists uses FibroScan to deliver personalized and effective treatment plans, ensuring our patients receive the best possible care. Whether you’re managing NAFLD or at risk for liver complications, FibroScan provides a critical advantage in liver health assessment, guiding us towards more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments.
