The patient must lie down, and a surgical instrument is put on the skin's surface during the scan. A numerical value quantifying the "stiffness" of the liver is measured using a mixture of an elastic wave (produced by a mechanical pulse) and ultrasound technology.
Fibro scan is a non-invasive test that can be performed at the point of care, is painless, and does not require sedation. Furthermore, the test takes only 5—7 minutes to complete, is significantly less expensive than a liver biopsy, and has no known side effects
Try not to drink alcohol for two weeks before your Fibro Scan, and don't eat or drink anything for three hours beforehand. If required, take small sips of water.
