What Is Fibroscan Technology?
FibroScan® is a non-invasive method of measuring the amount of fatty infiltration and scarring in your liver. It utilizes a shear wave produced through its probe to measure liver stiffness. This process is also known as Liver Ultrasonographic Elastography.
Fibroscan is non-invasive and painless. The probe presses against the skin near your rib cage and measures a 3 cm3 volume of liver tissue.
A mechanical shear wave flows through the liver and the examination volume is 100 x the size of a typical liver biopsy and minimizes sampling error.
Vibrations capture liver stiffness and attenuation levels to determine the extent of fat levels within the liver tissue. Results are shared with your doctor.

Our very own Ann Moore joins Wayne Eskridge to discuss advances in liver disease screening technology.
The interferon (IFN)–free regimen of sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 24 weeks was recently approved to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 (GT-1) infection for patients ineligible for IFN. However, sofosbuvir plus ribavirin therapy is associated with relapse in 15% to 30% of patients with HCV GT-1.
Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects more than 185 million individuals worldwide. Twenty percent of patients chronically infected with HCV progress to cirrhosis. New, simpler therapeutics using direct-acting antivirals that target various stages of the HCV life cycle are in development to eradicate HCV without concomitant interferon.
