Fibrosis and early cirrhosis may not cause symptoms in the early stages. Fibroscan/Fibrotouch (transient elastography) is an ultimate diagnostic method using sound waves to send vibrations into your liver. The probe measures how fast the vibrations move through your liver. If you have areas of stiff liver tissue, the vibrations will move faster through that area. Using these measurements, a computer creates an image of your liver tissue showing stiffness, a sign of fibrosis.
