Patients who have been on this journey with me over the years know my story, but for the new folks, I've been a test dummy and I've been able to track my progress with my darned cirrhotic liver over the years. I've confirmed my progress with both Fibroscan and MRE and I have progressed from a Fibroscan of 21.5 at diagnosis to 9.6 in 2020. Technology is advancing and I recently had an opportunity to get a Velacur test, a new kid on the block offering liver tests.
Here is a link to a blog post I wrote about the test
Hi Wayne, sounds like great technology. Where exactly is this available? Is it out for the entire general public yet? Just like Multiscan, I researched and looked and unfortunately it is not available for me in a huge city like Chicago. I wish all of these technologies could be utilized by everyone everywhere. Thanks for sharing 🩻👩⚕️👨⚕️
Velacur is pretty new and we have to get the docs to start using them. This is being made for the primary care offices so you won't have to see a specialist to get it but how long the adoption takes is hard to predict. We expect to publish a directory in
"5.4. Velacur™ Velacur™ is another novel noninvasive imaging modality developed in the fibrosis assessment among patients with NAFLD. It utilizes multiple, steady-state ultrasound waves in order to generate a three-dimensional liver tissue sample, including noninvasive calculations for hepatic fibrosis and steatosis [52]. Velacur™ still needs to be validated across larger, clinical trials, however appears to be an attractive noninvasive fibrosis assessment in the future management for patients with NAFLD."
