What is a Liver FibroScan? (Scientific Context)
A Liver FibroScan, technically known as Transient Elastography (TE), is a state-of-the-art medical imaging procedure used to assess liver health. Unlike a traditional ultrasound, which creates a visual image, or a biopsy, which is an invasive surgical procedure, a FibroScan quantifies the physical properties of your liver.
It works by emitting a small, painless pulse of mechanical energy (a vibration) from a probe placed on the skin. The device then uses ultrasound to track the speed of the shear wave created by this pulse as it travels through the liver.
-
1. Stiff Liver (Fibrosis)
In a healthy liver, the wave travels slowly. In a stiff liver (one with scarring, or fibrosis), the wave travels much faster. The device measures this speed and converts it into a measurement of stiffness in kilopascals (kPa).
-
2. Fatty Liver (Steatosis)
The device also measures the attenuation (or “fading”) of the ultrasound wave as it passes through the liver. Fat content causes the wave to fade more quickly. This is measured using the Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP), providing a precise, quantitative score for fatty liver (steatosis).
What Your FibroScan Report Will Show
A single FibroScan provides two critical measurements that give a complete picture of your liver health.
1. Liver Stiffness (Fibrosis)
This measures the degree of scarring in your liver. The result is given in **kilopascals (kPa)** and corresponds to a **Fibrosis Score (F-Score)** from F0 to F4.
- F0 – F1: No or mild liver scarring. (Normal: 2-7 kPa)
- F2: Moderate liver scarring.
- F3: Severe liver scarring.
- F4: Advanced scarring (Cirrhosis).
2. Liver Fat (Steatosis)
This measures the amount of fat buildup in your liver. The result is the **Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP)** score, measured in **decibels per meter (dB/m)**.
- S0: Normal (CAP Score < 238 dB/m)
- S1: Mild Steatosis (11% to 33% fat)
- S2: Moderate Steatosis (34% to 66% fat)
- S3: Severe Steatosis (Over 67% fat)
*Note: The exact kPa range for each stage can differ. Our expert radiologists will interpret your score in the context of your medical history.

Our trained technician will apply a water-based gel (like for a regular ultrasound) to the skin on your right side.
The 10-Minute Scan
The technician will gently place the FibroScan probe on your skin. You will feel a series of 10 slight, painless “taps” or vibrations. The entire scan takes only 5-10 minutes.
