Elastography

Elastography of the liver

Often in hospitals, fibroscans are performed, which do not involve ultrasound control. The operator conducts an examination at the patient's standard points, hoping to "see" the organ at the required angle.

Elastography allows you to select the desired point for a detailed study of the object.

Therefore, the accuracy of the study is much higher. The doctor, based on the results of the examination, can easily determine the presence of fibrosis and the degree of its development.

The main difference from a biopsy is the ability not only to see the minimum amount of tissue, but also to reduce the number of punctures for analysis. It is recommended that patients with chronic diseases be screened to select an effective treatment plan.
