USG Guided Biopsy

Overview

A USG Guided Biopsy (Ultrasound Guided Biopsy) is a minimally invasive procedure in which ultrasound imaging is used to guide a fine needle or biopsy needle to the exact area of concern. The collected tissue sample is then sent to a pathology laboratory for detailed examination.

At Apple Scans & Diagnostics, Ongole, our experienced radiology team performs ultrasound-guided biopsies with precision, helping physicians diagnose various medical conditions safely and accurately.
