FibroScan Liver Health Screening in 10 Minutes
No needles. No biopsy. No prep. FibroScan liver health screening in metro Atlanta, catching fatty liver disease long before it can hurt you.
Service Overview
Accessible, Non-Invasive Liver Health Screening With FibroScan
MASLD (metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease) is the most common liver condition in the country, and it’s usually silent until it isn’t. A FibroScan in our office is one way we find it early.
What FibroScan measures:
- Liver stiffness, a marker of fibrosis or scarring
- Liver fat content (steatosis)
- Risk of progression to liver failure or cirrhosis which dramatically increases the risk for liver cancer
Who it’s for:
- Anyone with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
- Patients with obesity or metabolic syndrome
- Elevated liver enzymes on routine labs
- Anyone with known liver conditions to monitor the status of that condition
About 10 minutes per scan. Results during your visit.
