It's a program and probe that can be used with the modern Ultrasound machines. Several Radiology practices here in Brisbane are doing them. A sonographer friend of my wife was complaining that they are time consuming, and they haven't been adequately trained. You're right, it's costcutting.
I'd rather have a dedicated Echosens machine and someone who knows what they're doing.

So the Hep C nurse told me yesterday that the Fibroscan facility on site will no longer be available for their use. Apparently they will be using ultrasound but with some new additional sensor.

Can't be good and sounds like cost cutting.
