Ultrasound Guided Biopsy/fnac/aspiration-2

5000+ scans done & counting

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), and Aspiration are essential diagnostic procedures that help in evaluating and diagnosing various diseases and conditions. These procedures are primarily used to collect samples from various body tissues, which are then analyzed in a laboratory.

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy involves the removal of a small amount of tissue, FNAC involves the removal of cells using a thin needle, while Aspiration involves the removal of fluid. The ultrasound is used to guide these procedures accurately.

These procedures are minimally invasive and are often performed when physical exams, blood tests, or imaging studies suggest an underlying problem. They can be critical in the diagnosis of cancer, infections, and other diseases.
