DEVICE

FibroScan® examination.

The study involves adults' patients with suspected Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease(NAFLD). The FibroScan® is a device equipped with probes (M+ or XL+), each of which consists of an ultrasonic transducer mounted on the axis of a mechanical vibrator. Liver stiffness and CAP measurements are performed on the right lobe of the liver with the patient in a dorsal decubitus and maximal abduction position. The procedure is non-invasive and painless.
