FibroScan at Bassi Clinic
Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 Americans may have Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)—commonly known as fatty liver disease—and many don’t even realize it?
At Bassi Clinic, we are proud to offer FibroScan, an advanced, non invasive technology that helps detect and monitor liver health early without the need for a biopsy.
What is a FibroScan?
FibroScan is a quick, painless test similar to an ultrasound that evaluates your liver in just minutes.
Using specialized technology called vibration-controlled transient elastography, FibroScan measures liver stiffness, which can indicate scarring or fibrosis, and fat accumulation in the liver.
This allows your provider to assess liver health immediately and accurately—during your visit.
What FibroScan Measures
- Liver stiffness, which can indicate scarring or fibrosis
- Fat accumulation in the liver
- Key liver health insights reviewed with your provider

Who Should Consider a FibroScan?
Fatty liver disease often has no symptoms in its early stages, making screening especially important if you have risk factors such as:
- Obesity or BMI over 30
- Type 2 diabetes
- High cholesterol or triglycerides
- High blood pressure
- Age over 50
- Hispanic ethnicity
- Metabolic syndrome
If you fall into any of these categories, early screening can make a meaningful difference in your long-term health.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Before Your Test
- Please fast for at least 3 hours prior to your appointment (water is allowed)
During the Test
- You’ll lie comfortably while a small probe is placed on your skin
- The test is painless and takes only a few minutes
After the Test
- Results are available immediately
- Your provider will review and explain your results during your visit
Understanding Your Results
FibroScan provides several key measurements that help evaluate your liver health:
- CAP Score – Measures fat in the liver
- Liver Stiffness – Indicates potential scarring (fibrosis)
- Steatosis – Presence of fat in the liver
- Fibrosis – Build-up of scar tissue
- Cirrhosis – Advanced liver scarring
- ALT/AST Levels – Blood markers that may indicate liver inflammation or damage
These insights help guide early intervention and personalized treatment plans.
Why Early Detection Matters
When detected early, fatty liver disease can often be reversed or managed with lifestyle changes and medical guidance.
Without intervention, it can progress to:
- Liver fibrosis (scarring)
- Cirrhosis
- Liver failure
- Increased risk of liver cancer
Early diagnosis gives you the opportunity to protect your liver and improve your long-term health.
