FibroScan® at Mediscan

Mediscan now offers FibroScan®, the world-leading, non-invasive technology for liver fat and fibrosis assessment. FibroScan helps detect fatty liver disease (MASLD / NAFLD), liver scarring (fibrosis), and risk of cirrhosis early, when the condition is still reversible.

First Trimester
FAQs

  • FibroScan® is an advanced form of transient elastography that measures:

    • Liver fat content (CAP score)
    • Liver stiffness (fibrosis score)

    Unlike ultrasound or blood tests, FibroScan provides quantitative, objective measurements of liver health in just 10 minutes.

    • No injections
    • No radiation
    • No fasting required
    • Immediate results

  • Liver disease often has no symptoms until it becomes advanced. FibroScan helps identify:

    • Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD / NAFLD)
    • NASH (advanced fatty liver)
    • Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
    • Liver damage due to:
      • Obesity
      • Diabetes
      • High cholesterol
      • Alcohol use
      • Viral hepatitis
      • Long-term medications

    Early detection allows lifestyle changes and treatment before permanent damage occurs.

  • 1. Liver Fat (CAP Score)

    • Quantifies fat accumulation in the liver.
    • Detects fatty liver even when ultrasound is normal.
    • Useful for monitoring improvement with weight loss or treatment.

    2. Liver Stiffness (Fibrosis Score)

    • Measures liver scarring.
    • Helps stage liver disease from F0 (normal) to F4(cirrhosis).
    • Reduces the need for liver biopsy in many patients.

  • You may benefit from FibroScan if you:

    • Have fatty liver on ultrasound
    • Have diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome
    • Have abnormal liver enzymes
    • Consume alcohol regularly
    • Have viral hepatitis
    • Want to monitor liver improvement during treatment
    • Are advised by your physician for liver risk assessment

  • FibroScan vs Traditional Liver Tests:

    Test What it Shows Limitations
    Blood tests Liver enzymes Do not measure fat or fibrosis
    Ultrasound Fat (subjective) Cannot stage fibrosis
    CT / MRI Fat Expensive, radiation (CT)
    FibroScan® Fat + fibrosis (quantitative) Fast, safe, accurate

  • You may benefit from FibroScan if you:

    • Latest-generation FibroScan technology
    • Expert interpretation
    • Accurate, reproducible results
    • Quick appointments & same-day reports
    • Trusted diagnostic brand

    Mediscan is committed to early detection and preventive healthcare using internationally validated diagnostic tools.

    • Simple, outpatient procedure
    • You lie comfortably on an examination bed
    • A small probe is placed on the right side of your abdomen
    • Painless vibrations measure liver stiffness and fat
    • Results available immediately

    The test takes 5–10 minutes.

  • No. FibroScan is completely painless and non-invasive.

  • No fasting is required.

  • Yes. It uses ultrasound-based technology with no radiation.

  • Your doctor may recommend repeat scans to monitor liver improvement or progression.
