FibroScan is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that measures how stiff the liver is, which reflects the degree of scarring, or fibrosis, and at the same time estimates the amount of fat in the liver. It offers a fast, painless alternative to a liver biopsy, with no incision or needle, and it assesses a larger area of the organ than a tiny tissue sample would. A probe is simply placed on the skin over the liver while the patient lies down, and a numerical result is available within minutes. It is widely used to detect and follow liver conditions and to guide and monitor treatment.
