Fibroscan
Fibroscan is a non-invasive device that allows liver exploration painlessly, quickly (a few minutes) and with immediate results. A probe placed on the skin generates an elastic wave completely painlessly and the device measures its speed of propagation in the liver. Liver stiffness is calculated from this speed.
