Abstract

A method and device for detecting tissue fibrosis. The method includes: determining whether there is a possibility for tissue inflammation; and when there is a possibility for tissue inflammation, monitoring tissue stiffness or a parameter reflecting tissue stiffness during a treatment of the tissue inflammation to determine whether the tissue inflammation has been eliminated; when the tissue inflammation has been eliminated or there is no possibility for tissue inflammation, obtaining a degree of tissue fibrosis or information related to the degree of tissue fibrosis according to tissue stiffness or a parameter reflecting tissue stiffness. The embodiments enable the tracking of the tissue stiffness during the treatment of tissue inflammation to determine whether tissue inflammation has been eliminated or not, and since tissue stiffness can be detected by a non-invasive quantitative detection technique of tissue elastic modulus, avoiding defects caused by tissue biopsy.
