How do I prep for a FibroScan®

• Avoid eating or drinking anything (water is fine) for at least three hours before the scan.
• Continue taking any prescribed medicine.
• Avoid wearing any one-piece clothing items (jumpsuit, dress, etc.) on the day of your appointment.
• You cannot have a FibroScan® if you’re pregnant.

• You will lay down on the exam table and place your right arm above your head.
• The right side of your abdomen will be exposed. You do not have to remove jewelry near the site of the scan.
• The technician will feel your abdomen to find the right place to perform the scan.
• When the scan begins, sound waves pass through your skin, to the liver and back. It is not painful, although you may feel gentle pressure.
• The scan takes 10-15 minutes to perform.
