Liverscan: Palm-sized Real-time B-mode Ultrasound Imaging Guided System for Liver Fibrosis Assessment

Liver fibrosis is a very common disease which may lead to cirrhosis and ultimately loss of liver function or cancer. It is often caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease. Currently, liver biopsy is a gold standard for liver fibrosis diagnosis, but it is invasive and may cause bleeding and serious complications.

To provide a safer, more effective and comprehensive diagnostic solution, the team has developed a Palm-sized Real-time B-mode Ultrasound Imaging Guided System for liver fibrosis assessment, which performs fibrosis evaluation through non-invasive measurement of liver stiffness. The innovative system features real-time image guiding that enhances the accuracy of measurement. Moreover, its portable and wireless design allows convenient operation.
