Image-Guided Biopsy Hospital in Himatnagar
An image-guided biopsy uses CT or sonography to guide a fine needle into a lump or organ to take a small tissue sample – without open surgery. It is done under local anaesthesia through a tiny puncture and is the safest way to find out what a lump is. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, guided biopsies are planned with our 128-slice CT and sonography as advised.
Understanding the Condition
Why a Biopsy?
Scans show that a lump exists, but only a tissue sample can confirm whether it is an infection, a benign growth or cancer. A guided biopsy reaches deep lumps accurately through a needle, avoiding a cut. The sample is sent to a lab and the result guides treatment.
