Goshen Physicians Gastroenterology offers new liver screening

Goshen Physicians Gastroenterology now offers a new liver screening that provides advanced organ health assessments.

In addition to faster and more accurate measurements, upgrading from FibroScan^® to FibroScan^® Expert 630 adds new capabilities to examine the spleen for signs that liver disease is significantly affecting the whole body.

FibroScan^® Expert 630 is a painless, non-invasive exam via a handheld probe for liver conditions such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, alcohol hepatitis and autoimmune conditions of the liver. The scan also helps specialists assess patient risk of cirrhosis.

“We are pleased to offer this convenient, 10-minute in-office screening that gives patients important information about their liver health,” said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health President and Chief Executive Officer. “Early detection of liver disease gives us the best opportunity to treat patients with non-invasive procedures, such as medication and lifestyle modifications.”

Liver health screenings with FibroScan^® Expert 630 are available at Goshen Physicians Gastroenterology for adults with a referral from a primary healthcare provider.
