Ultrasound Guided Biopsy/Fnac/Aspiration-3

5000+ scans done & counting

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), and Aspiration are minimally invasive procedures that involve using a needle to collect tissue samples, cells, or fluid from an area inside the body. These samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Ultrasound, a form of imaging that uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body, is used to guide the needle during these procedures accurately.

When a lump or abnormality is detected through physical examination or other imaging studies, an Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy, FNAC or Aspiration can be crucial in obtaining a definitive diagnosis. This information is vital in determining the appropriate treatment plan.
