CT Guided Biopsy

Overview

A CT Guided Biopsy (Computed Tomography Guided Biopsy) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses CT scan imaging to guide a biopsy needle to the exact location of an abnormal tissue or lesion. It is especially useful for areas that cannot be safely reached using ultrasound guidance.

The collected tissue sample is sent to a pathology laboratory for detailed examination, helping doctors diagnose infections, inflammatory conditions, benign tumors and cancers.

At Apple Scans & Diagnostics, Ongole, CT Guided Biopsy is performed using advanced CT imaging technology with a focus on precision, patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.

When is a CT Guided Biopsy Recommended?
