liver biopsy is still the gold standard but has some limitations and contraindications.

The fibroscan is the best choice for objectively evaluation of liver fibrosis
Elastography, due to progress of steatosis in fibrosis and definitively liver cirrhosis. Laboratoric findings are import. Finally liver biopsy.
Fibroscan is the best non invasive diagnostic test for liver fibrosis
They are several analytical tests to choose and also of course, the fibroscan exploration
composite that includes fibroscan, fib4 and hyaluronic acid assay
Transient Elastography (TE) (Fibroscan) is probably the most widely used noninvasive method in Europe, both for hepatic fibrosis and other liver diseases
MRI Elastography is better than FIBROSCAN. Multiple studies have demonstrated that it has higher sensitivity and specificity than Fibroscan.
In addition, FIBROSCAN is the commercial brand name of the device. The method must be called ELASTOGRAPHY and consist in measuring liver stiffness with the method of transient emision . Elastography can also be made with Ultrasongraphy with the method of ARFI. US elastography is equivalent than transient method .
Fibroscan will be better alternative; short of that FIB-4 index has a better sensitivity
