VelacurTM
VelacurTM quantifies ultrasound attenuation (component of liver fat measurement) and tissue stiffness (component of liver fibrosis measurement) in the liver. Our portable solution consists of a handheld ultrasound, which is placed between the patient’s ribs, and an activation pad. The patient lies on the activation pad, which creates steady state waves in the liver and a 3D tissue sample is measured.
The entire procedure can take 5 minutes to complete, producing real-time measurements to aid in the management of patients with liver disease.
