FibroScan (Liver Elastography)

FibroScan (Elastography) in North Houston, Humble & The Woodlands

FibroScan®, also known as liver elastography, is a non-invasive, painless test used to measure liver stiffness and fat content. At DLDC, we use FibroScan to assess for fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH)—without the need for a biopsy.

This test works like an ultrasound, delivering quick results and guiding treatment decisions. It’s beneficial for monitoring chronic liver conditions and avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.

DLDC offers FibroScan testing at our convenient locations in Houston, The Woodlands, Humble, and Baytown via gimed.net. If you're at risk for liver disease or need ongoing monitoring, schedule your FibroScan with us today.

Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD/NASH)

To monitor liver stiffness in patients with fat accumulation in the liver, with or without inflammation.

Chronic Hepatitis B or C

Used regularly to assess progression or regression of liver fibrosis during treatment.
