Details.
A quick, painless, noninvasive liver assessment using transient elastography to measure liver stiffness and detect fat accumulation. The procedure requires no special preparation, sedation, or radiation. A technician applies gel to the skin over the liver area and uses a probe to send painless vibrations into the liver. Suitable for individuals at risk for liver disease, including those with chronic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, or elevated liver enzymes. Results are available immediately, and patients can return to normal activities afterward.
