Image-Guided Biopsy

An image-guided biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect a small sample of tissue from the body for testing. It uses imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, or MRI to precisely locate the area of concern, such as a tumor or abnormal lump. The images guide the doctor to insert a needle accurately into the targeted spot, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This helps diagnose diseases like cancer or infections. The procedure is usually minimally invasive, safe, and provides valuable information to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
