FibroScan (Coming Soon)
The Non-Invasive Tool to Assess Your Liver Health
The FibroScan® (transient elastography) measures liver stiffness (fibrosis) and fat accumulation (steatosis) in just a few minutes—painlessly, without needles or anesthesia. It often serves as a reliable alternative to liver biopsy for assessing liver damage, enabling early detection and significantly reducing the risk of cirrhosis or liver cancer.
What Is a FibroScan?
A technology called transient elastography, which sends small, painless vibrations through the skin to measure liver stiffness. The probe instantly measures liver rigidity and fat content. Recommended for:
- Screening for fibrosis and cirrhosis in individuals with fatty liver
- Monitoring the progression of treated or untreated hepatitis B and C
- Assessing patients with chronic alcohol consumption or iron overload
- Monitoring treatment response and adjusting follow-up
- Completely painless, with no needles or anesthesia
- Immediate results (report provided at the end of the test)
- Repeatable test allowing regular monitoring of progress
- Reduces the need for liver biopsy
More Details About the FibroScan
- Fast solid food ≥ 3 hours before the test. Water is allowed.
- Approximately 10–15 min
None; low-intensity ultrasound.
Less accurate in individuals with morbid obesity, acute liver inflammation, or right-sided heart failure. In these cases, other tests may be recommended (MRI, biopsy).
Conditions That May Require a FibroScan
- Fatty liver (Hepatic steatosis)
- Chronic viral hepatitis
- Alcohol consumption
- Iron overload (Hemochromatosis)
- Primary biliary cholangitis
- Persistent elevation of liver enzymes
- Autoimmune liver diseases
- Genetic liver diseases
- Diagnosis of cirrhosis
Early detection and prompt intervention can slow or even reverse the progression of fibrosis. This significantly reduces the risk of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma.

Mike Williams
It is rare to find a doctor who truly listens and genuinely cares about their patients, but Dr. Coussa is exactly that. He is incredibly patient and takes the time to answer all of my questions. After years of struggling with digestive issues and gastroesophageal reflux, I finally found relief thanks to him. Even the head endoscopy nurse told me he is the best and most competent doctor she has ever worked with, and I can only agree!

Gastroscopy was very easy with Dr. Coussa. He takes the necessary time, explains the instructions clearly, and makes you feel comfortable. I chose Dr. Coussa specifically for this procedure because of his excellent reviews, and I’m truly glad I found him.
