Liver Ultrasound Imaging in Greater Lansing!
Liver Ultrasound Imaging in Greater Lansing!
Liver health is a growing concern in modern medicine, with fatty liver disease emerging as the fastest-growing segment of chronic liver conditions. As healthcare providers, we are tasked with identifying, diagnosing, and managing this silent epidemic before it progresses to severe complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer. Velacur, an innovative ultrasound imaging tool, offers a groundbreaking solution for assessing liver health.
Painless and Non-invasive imaging in just 10 minutes!
Painless and Non-invasive imaging in just 10 minutes!
Our state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging tool is designed to measure liver stiffness and attenuation—two leading indicators of fatty liver disease. With its advanced technology, our imaging services identifies a range of liver-related conditions, including:
-
-
- Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), formerly known as NAFLD
- Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as NASH
- Liver fibrosis (scarring of the liver)
- Cirrhosis
- Other causes of increased liver stiffness or fat accumulation
-
Unlike traditional diagnostic methods, we offer a painless, non-invasive procedure that can be completed in just 10 minutes. Results are available immediately, enabling physicians to make timely and informed decisions about patient care. The simplicity and efficiency of Velacur make it an ideal tool for routine liver assessments, particularly for high-risk patients. By identifying liver stiffness and fat content early, providers can intervene before the disease progresses to more severe stages. This early detection is crucial for halting or even reversing fatty liver disease through lifestyle changes and emerging therapeutic options.

Care your patients can count on!
One of the many advantages of completing your liver imaging needs at The Digestive Health Instititute is our straightforward preparation process. Patients are advised to:
-
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the right side of the rib cage ensure a smooth and efficient procedure.
- Fast for Four Hours: To optimize the accuracy of the examination, patients should fast for at least four hours before their appointment. Clear fluids are permitted during this time.
These simple preparation steps make liver ultrasound an accessible and patient-friendly option for liver assessments.
How Liver Ultrasound Imaging at DHI Benefits Patients
Our advanced AI-guidance and S-wave technology play a critical role in the effective management of chronic liver disease. The AI-guidance ensures high levels of accuracy by assisting in identifying and analyzing the liver’s condition with precision. Meanwhile, the S-wave technology offers a highly detailed assessment by measuring liver stiffness, which is often a key indicator of fibrosis and other chronic conditions.
Non-Invasive and Painless
Traditional liver biopsies, while effective, are invasive and carry risks such as bleeding and infection. Our imaging tool eliminates these concerns, offering a completely non-invasive alternative that patients can undergo without fear or discomfort.
Quick and Convenient
The entire imaging procedure takes only 10 minutes, making it a practical option for busy clinics and hospitals. Patients can receive their results during the same visit, reducing the need for follow-up appointments and streamlining the diagnostic process.
Accurate and Reliable
Advanced technology provides precise measurements of liver stiffness and attenuation, ensuring accurate diagnoses. This reliability is critical for tailoring treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs.
Accessible for High-Risk Populations
Given its ease of use and non-invasive nature, Velacur is particularly well-suited for high-risk patients who may be hesitant to undergo more invasive procedures. This accessibility encourages more individuals to seek liver assessments, ultimately improving public health outcomes.

Internal medicine physicians and primary caregivers are often at the forefront of managing patients with early signs of liver dysfunction. The challenge lies in diagnosing fatty liver disease at a stage when symptoms are still absent or vague. Velacur provides a critical advantage by offering non-invasive, accurate assessments of liver stiffness and fat content, enabling early detection and intervention. This tool allows primary care providers to stratify risk more effectively and monitor progression or reversal of liver damage with greater precision. By integrating our liver imaging tools into your patient’s care plan, we can provide proactive care, improving patient outcomes together while reducing the long-term burden of advanced liver disease.
