CT-guided biopsy

A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special imaging technique called computed tomography (CT) to help doctors precisely locate and collect a small sample of tissue from a specific area inside the body, such as a tumor or lump. The CT scan provides detailed pictures, guiding the needle accurately to the target area, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This tissue sample is then analyzed in a lab to help diagnose or evaluate medical conditions, such as infections or cancer, providing valuable information for treatment planning.
