Will Ultrasound Tests Performed with FibroScan Replace Traditional Liver Biopsies Performed with Surgical Equipment? Liver biopsy has long been considered the “gold-standard” procedure for diagnosing all types of chronic liver diseases. In this method, surgeons use surgical equipment to manually obtain liver tissue samples for diagnosis. The surgeons then perform a histological evaluation of the… Continue reading Surgical Equipment
Non-Portable vs Portable FibroScan Machine Costs: Which Machine is More Cost-Effective? A FibroScan machine is a diagnostic device that leverages ultrasound technology to evaluate liver stiffness and fatty content: two of the main markers of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is the abnormal buildup of scar tissue in the liver. These buildups are triggered by all… Continue reading Portable Fibroscan Machine Cost
Why Radiology Centers Should Not Care About High FibroScan Machine Prices FibroScan is an FDA-approved technology that is used to perform millions of non-invasive liver examinations every year, all across the globe. The FibroScan device emits small pulses of energy that can travel through a patient’s liver. The speed of this journey can be used… Continue reading Fibroscan Machine Price
Getting Ultrasound Liver Elastography: What to Expect and How to Prepare An “elastography” is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the “elasticity” of organs in the body. An Ultrasound Liver Elastography is a noninvasive diagnostic test that leverages ultrasound technology to evaluate the liver’s elasticity and stiffness. This scan helps healthcare providers diagnose and treat… Continue reading Ultrasound Liver Elastography
The Critical Role of FibroScan in Treating Liver Diseases FibroScan is a non-invasive diagnostic device that uses ultrasound-based technology to assess the “stiffness” of the liver. This diagnostic method is also known as liver elastography and it’s highly effective in revealing how stiff, fatty, and inflamed a patient’s liver is. How It Works The FibroScan… Continue reading FibroScan
Decoding Loss of Domain in Complex Hernia Cases: The Most Important Measurement in Modern-Day Hernia Surgery Loss of domain (LOD) is a term used in hernia literature to describe the ratio of peritoneal content located in the hernia sac. The LOD ratio expresses the relationship between the hernia and the residual abdominopelvic cavity and it… Continue reading Loss Of Domain (Complex Hernia)
Why Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR) is Taking Over the World of Hernia Treatment Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR) is a surgical procedure that involves repairing/replacing weak spots in the abdominal wall tissue. It is an emerging subspecialty within general surgery and is widely viewed as the ideal technique for repairing a wide range of hernia defects.… Continue reading Abdominal Wall Reconstruction (AWR)
