FibroScan® is quick, painless, and completely non-invasive. There are no needles and no known complications.

During the test, you’ll lie comfortably while a small probe is placed on the right side of your upper abdomen. You’ll feel a gentle tapping sensation on the skin.

The entire appointment takes less than 15 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities right away

We recommend not eating for at least 2-3 hours before your appointment, as a large meal can temporarily increase liver stiffness results.

You may still drink liquids and take your usual medications during this time.

There are no restrictions after the test. You can return to your normal activities right away.
