FNAC CT-Guided

FNAC CT-Guided (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue samples from deep-seated organs or abnormal growths. It is performed under CT scan guidance to ensure precise needle placement, helping in the diagnosis of tumors, infections, or other pathological conditions. This test is commonly used for detecting cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases in organs such as the lungs, liver, pancreas, or lymph nodes.

The procedure involves inserting a thin needle into the targeted area while using CT imaging for accurate positioning. A small sample of cells or fluid is collected for microscopic examination. This technique provides a quick and reliable diagnosis, helping doctors determine further treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, or antibiotics.

Fasting may be required, depending on the organ being examined. The test is safe and usually performed under local anesthesia, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery period. FNAC CT-Guided is particularly useful for diagnosing deep-seated tumors that cannot be accessed easily through conventional biopsy methods.

This test is suitable for all age groups and is recommended for patients with suspicious masses, unexplained swellings, or abnormal imaging findings. Since results must be carefully analyzed, consulting a doctor is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
