The Fibroscan technology is used to detect liver fat accumulation and fibrosis. It employs the same principles as sonar and ultrasound, emitting high-frequency sound waves into the liver tissue and measuring the reflected waves in decibels per meter (dB/m). The presence of more fat in the liver results in faster sound wave reflection compared to liver tissue with less fat. Similarly, liver stiffness is measured, where a stiffer liver allows sound waves to pass through more quickly. This method of examination does not cause discomfort or carry the risk of complications associated with traditional methods involving liver puncture.

The Urease Breath Test is a non-invasive method for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection, a major cause of gastric and duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer. This test can both detect the bacteria and confirm the successful outcome of treatment.
