Machines for transient elastography is designed to conduct a noninvasive evaluation of hepatic fibrosis. Fibroscanning of the liver allows you to quickly and painlessly examine the condition of the organ, which is prone to the destructive effect of uncontrollably growing scar tissue. The technique is considered as a more modern and accurate alternative to biochemical blood analysis, biopsy and ultrasound scanning.
The device for transient elastography is equipped with a special sensor, which simultaneously acts as both a generator and a receiver of ultrasonic waves. The device first emits elastic ultrasonic waves, then fixes the change in the rate of their spread in the liver tissues, on the basis of which it displays its own analysis on the METAVIR system in kilopascals. The initial stage of fibrosis corresponds to the value of F0, the latter to F4. Fibroscan scans the organ in several places at the same time, which allows to measure the density of the tissue over the entire area, thus avoiding erroneous interpretation of the results. Within fifteen minutes, the device makes it possible to study the area 100 times more than a one-time tissue intake for a biopsy, while the operator does not affect the computational process.
Transit elastography is assigned in the following cases:
Fibroscanning is prescribed for both primary evaluation of scarring and correction of treatment. The procedure does not cause complications and does not affect the progression of the disease.
On sale there are portable scanners and stationary systems. Some devices support not only the function of elastometry, but also allow to measure the level of steatosis, to evaluate the tissues by measuring the attenuation of ultrasound. Sensors with a working frequency of 3.5 MHz make it possible to examine massive patients with a high percentage of fat.
Portable and stationary fibroscans can be purchased on BiMedis. The international platform for the sale of medical equipment offers a wide range of equipment at market prices.
