FibroScan in Dubai with specialist assessment
If you have fatty liver, abnormal liver blood tests or concern about liver scarring, a FibroScan can help assess liver stiffness and liver fat.
Dr Pranab personally performs the FibroScan and explains the result during the same appointment. The result is considered with your medical history, blood tests and previous scans so that you know what it means and what should happen next.
Not everyone with fatty liver needs a FibroScan. Whether it is useful depends on your blood results, previous scans and wider clinical risk.
Assessment takes place in a JCI accredited facility in Dubai.

WhatsApp the Admin TeamWhat makes this FibroScan assessment different?
Dr Pranab personally performs the FibroScan and interprets the result during the appointment. The measurement is considered together with your clinical history, blood tests and previous imaging. This allows the result to lead directly to a clear clinical plan.
What does FibroScan measure?
FibroScan uses ultrasound technology to measure liver stiffness and liver fat. Liver stiffness can help assess the possibility of fibrosis. The CAP measurement estimates liver fat.
The measurements do not provide the complete answer on their own. Dr Pranab interprets them with your clinical history, blood tests and other liver investigations.
What happens after the FibroScan?
Dr Pranab reviews the result with you during the appointment. He will explain whether the findings suggest a low risk result, whether further investigation is needed and how your liver health should be followed.
The next step may involve changes to food, activity, weight, diabetes, cholesterol or alcohol intake. Further blood tests, imaging or treatment may be advised when appropriate.
