FNAC & CT guided Biopsy of lung Lesions

Lung Lesions treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

A biopsy is a medical procedure that involves removing a small piece of tissue from the body for examination. A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses imaging guidance to help the doctor access a specific body area.

FNAC is a type of biopsy that uses a needle to remove a small sample of cells from the body. The cells are then examined under a microscope to look for signs of disease.

A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses imaging guidance to help the doctor access a specific body area. A small incision is made in the skin, and a needle is inserted through the incision and into the body. The needle is then guided to the area of concern using CT images. Once the needle is in place, a small tissue sample is removed and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Pre-procedure

A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure to obtain a tissue sample from a suspicious area within the body. A CT scan guides a needle through the skin and into the area of concern. Once the needle is in place, a small tissue sample is removed and sent to a laboratory for analysis. CT-guided biopsies are performed on an outpatient basis and usually take less than 30 minutes to complete.

Procedure

The first step in a CT-guided biopsy is to have a CT scan of the area of concern. This scan will be used to guide the needle during the procedure. Once the CT scan is complete, you will be taken to the biopsy room and positioned on the CT table. An IV will be started in your arm, and you will be given a sedative to help you relax. Visit our pulmonology hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Once you are sedated, the radiologist will make a small incision in your skin and insert a needle into the area of concern. The needle will be advanced through the tissue until it reaches the desired location. A small tissue sample will then be removed and sent to the lab for analysis. The needle will be removed, and the incision will be closed with stitches or surgical glue.

After-Procedure

You will be monitored for a short time after the procedure before being discharged home. Having someone drive you home is important as the sedative can cause drowsiness. CT-guided biopsies are generally safe and have a low risk of complications. The most common complication is bleeding from the biopsy site.

Risks involved 

The risks involved in a CT-guided biopsy are generally low. The most common complication is bleeding from the biopsy site. Other potential complications include infection, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and damage to nearby structures (such as blood vessels or nerves). These complications are rare and usually occur when the biopsy is performed near sensitive structures. CT-guided biopsies are generally considered safe and effective in obtaining a tissue sample from a suspicious area.
