Introducing FibroScan®: A Painless, Accurate, Non-Invasive Way to Assess Liver Health

Providers with Gastroenterology Associates want all of our patients to know we can help them take an important step toward preventing and/or halting liver disease. FibroScan® provides our physicians with consistent results that enable us to make the most informed treatment decisions. We provide you this quick, non-invasive experience, and utilize FibroScan® scoring results to potentially rule out the need for a painful, expensive liver biopsy or other invasive testing.

This is an opportune time to take advantage of painless testing, covered by most insurance companies, that is now available in our office: FibroScan® is the optimal approach to assessment of liver health, early detection and monitoring of liver disease.

FibroScan® takes only 10 minutes, is non-invasive and completely painless:

• The patients lie comfortably on an exam table
• The medical professional applies a water-based gel on the patient’s skin and places the FibroScan® probe on the right side of the ribcage
• The medical professional then takes 10 quick, painless measurements
• Your results will be reviewed by your ordering provider and you will be notified either by phone or portal
