Narrow intercostal spaces fibroscan

If the fibroscan technician says you have narrow intercostal spaces could that make the result falsely elevated or falsely low? IQR 0.3 and IQR/med 9%.

Pretty sure this shows mildly fatty liver.

Good afternoon raenata,

May I politely refer you to the community guidelines regarding posting test results.

Whilst I appreciate your anxiety, no-one here can interpret your test results for you.

With regards to ' narrow intercostal spaces' this would only be an issue if the probe deflected off a rib - if this happened it gives an invalid result as the technology recognises the difference between bone and liver.

Please discuss with your own doctors for individualised interpretation .

Best wishes,

Trust9
