Procedures
The liver is located in the right upper abdomen under the rib cage. Patients are asked to lie flat on an examination table. A technician places the Fibro scan probe between the ribs on the right side of the lower chest wall. A series of painless pulses are then applied to the liver. The results are recorded on the equipment, and an overall liver stiffness score is generated. This score is then interpreted by a qualified physician to predict the likelihood of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.[4]
