Guided – Biopsy

At Mahajan Imaging, ultrasound and CT guided FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology), biopsies and drainage procedures are done routinely. It is a referral site for difficult CT guided biopsies of the chest, spine and abdomen. In early 2010 we became one of the first centres in India to start using the Perfint Robotic CT Guided (PIGA CT) biopsy system.

Image guided biopsies is an OPD (Out Patient) procedure and in most cases the patient is able to go back home after the test. Image guidance improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces the number of attempts and consequently the side effects of a biopsy procedure. This helps in getting a pathological diagnosis in diseases which affect deep situated organs in the body and many times an invasive surgical procedure may be avoided based on the results obtained.
