Liver Health Check with FibroScan Technology

"FibroScan" technology 

• Screening for liver fibrosis and measuring accumulated fat.
  Reduces the risk of complications compared to liver biopsy.

Strength

• Easy to check, quick, and get results immediately.
• The examination takes only a short time, just 5-10 minutes.
• It causes no pain and poses no harm to the body.
• You can go home immediately after the test.
• In cases requiring close monitoring, the test can be repeated multiple times and is safe.

The working principle of a fibroscan machine

• ใLow-frequency waves at 50 Hz, using the VCTETM (Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography) technique, are introduced into the liver, and the reflected waves are measured using high and low-frequency sound waves. If the liver is hardening, the reflected sound waves will travel faster, resulting in a higher measured value. The unit of measurement is kilopascals (kPa).
• Liver fat accumulation can be measured using the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) method. Low-frequency sound waves are introduced into the liver tissue, and the resistance is measured. A higher fat accumulation in the liver results in higher resistance, with a higher reading measured in decibels per meter (dB/m).
