Imaging SERVICES

Florida Digestive Health Specialists offers high-quality imaging services at convenient locations. Our comprehensive diagnostic imaging enables our gastroenterologists to more effectively manage, diagnose, and treat gastrointestinal and liver illnesses.

Imaging:

Capsule Endoscopy: Also referred to as “Pillcam,” allows your gastroenterologist to examine the lining of your small intestine, which is difficult to reach even with more traditional endoscopy procedures. A tiny wireless camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow. As the camera moves through your digestive tract, it takes pictures that your gastroenterologist will later interpret.

Elastography: This non-invasive transient elastography ultrasound machine uses waves to measure liver stiffness, which can indicate the presence of fatty liver disease or liver fibrosis (scarring). It serves as a diagnostic tool that enables your gastroenterologist to evaluate liver health without the need for a liver biopsy.

FibroScan®: This non-invasive ultrasound device measures liver scarring, called fibrosis, and the amount of fat in the liver. Like a traditional ultrasound exam, a FibroScan is quick and painless. It provides a non-surgical option for assessing liver damage. Click here to learn more from our research institute.

Who should get which test?

A FibroScan® may be recommended if you:
 
  • Have been diagnosed with a chronic liver condition, such as hepatitis or fatty liver disease.
  • Have risk factors for liver disease, such as diabetes, obesity, or a history of heavy alcohol use.
  • Need to monitor the progression of liver damage or assess your response to treatment. 
 
An Elastography may be recommended if you:
 
  • Have elevated liver enzymes or other lab results that suggest liver inflammation or damage.
  • Need a complete evaluation of the liver’s overall structure to check for tumors, blockages, or other issues.
  • Have risk factors for liver disease but have not yet received a specific diagnosis
