…and many of them may not know it.

Tampa Bay Medical Research uses Fibroscan as an alternative to liver biopsy to detect and stage Fatty Liver Disease. It is an ultrasound-based imaging tool that captures liver stiffness and scarring caused by fatty deposits in the liver.

Fibroscan is a painless, non-invasive procedure that requires no sedation and can be completed in just a few minutes. It enables our providers to screen patients for Fatty Liver Disease during their visit.

What should I expect from my FREE Fibroscan Appointment at Tampa Bay Medical Research?

FIBROSCAN is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to diagnose liver disease

Fasting
With the exception of drinking small sips of water – at least 3 hours prior to your appointment is required to get an accurate reading.
The use of a non-invasive probe
A non-invasive probe will press against the skin near your rib cage and will measure a 3 cm³ volume of liver tissue. The examination volume of the Fibroscan is 100 times the size of a typical liver biopsy and minimizes sampling error.
Results and Findings
Our provider will review and discuss the results of your scan with you during your visit.
