If you’ve been told you might need a liver scan, it’s normal to feel uncertain or even a little nervous. But at MNGI Digestive Health, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. One of the most common tools we use to evaluate liver health is the FibroScan, a quick, non-invasive test that helps our care teams better understand how your liver is functioning.
What to Expect During Your FibroScan Appointment
A FibroScan at MNGI is a straightforward and low-stress experience. Here’s what the process looks like:
- You’ll check in just like a regular clinic visit. There’s no need to change clothes or receive any medication.
- During the test, you’ll lie comfortably on your back while one of our trained staff members places a small probe against your right side.
- You may feel a light tapping sensation as the device takes measurements; it’s painless, and usually takes less than 10 minutes.
- You’re free to go right after, with no downtime or recovery period.
Why Choose MNGI for Your FibroScan?
At MNGI Digestive Health, we do more than perform the scan—we provide comprehensive digestive and liver care. That means when you come in for a FibroScan, you’ll receive:
