A member asked:
Is fibroscan available in the united states? if so, where?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, dont know where: This has been around for several years as a way of deciding whether a patient has cirrhosis == worth knowing in deciding whether to treat hepatitis c, how hard to manage hepatitis b, and perhaps other things. I'm sorry i don't know who offers it, but your gastroenterologist would know.
