Sanjivini Diagnostics is spearheading a revolution in liver health with its groundbreaking approach to fibrosis assessment. The company has set a new standard by incorporating FibroScan technology, a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that enables highly accurate evaluation of liver fibrosis. Unlike traditional methods, FibroScan provides a non-invasive and rapid assessment, significantly improving patient experience.

1. WHAT IS IT

2. A FibroScan is a non-invasive medical procedure used
to assess the degree of liver fibrosis and liver stiffness. It
employs a specialized ultrasound probe to transmit
shear waves into the liver tissue, measuring the speed
at which these waves travel. The velocity of these waves
correlates with the stiffness of the liver, providing
valuable information about the extent of fibrosis or
scarring. FibroScan is commonly utilized as an
alternative to liver biopsy, offering a quicker and less
invasive means of evaluating liver health. This
procedure is especially beneficial for monitoring liver
disease progression in conditions such as hepatitis,
cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease.

used to assess liver
fibrosis and cirrhosis,
detecting conditions
like hepatitis, fatty liver
disease, and liver
fibrosis.
What the diseases that
can be identified or
diagnosed by Fibro Scan?

4. Preparation:
⚬ The patient is asked to fast for several hours before the FibroScan
to ensure accurate results.
⚬ It's important to inform the healthcare provider about any
medications, particularly blood thinners, as they may need to be
temporarily stopped.
Patient Positioning:
⚬ The patient is typically asked to lie on their back, and the right
arm is raised behind the head to expose the right side of the
chest.
Probe Placement:
⚬ A water-based gel is applied to the skin over the area where the
FibroScan will be performed.
⚬ The FibroScan probe, a small device resembling an ultrasound
transducer, is then placed on the skin in the right intercostal
space, where the liver is located.
Measurement Process:
⚬ The healthcare provider, often a technician or physician, activates the
FibroScan, and it sends a series of low-frequency vibrations through the liver.
⚬ These vibrations create shear waves that travel through the liver tissue, and
the device measures the speed of these waves to determine liver stiffness.
Multiple Measurements:
⚬ Several measurements are usually taken to ensure accuracy and reliability.
The entire procedure is relatively quick, often taking only a few minutes.
Results and Interpretation:
⚬ The FibroScan provides immediate results in the form of a numerical score,
known as the liver stiffness measurement (LSM). This score correlates with the
degree of liver fibrosis. A lower score indicates minimal fibrosis, while higher
scores suggest more advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.
⚬ The healthcare provider interprets the results and discusses them with the
patient, providing information about the liver's condition and potential next
steps in management or further testing.
