Stereotactic Biopsy
A stereotactic biopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a small sample of tissue from a specific area in the body, often to diagnose abnormalities like tumors. It uses imaging techniques, such as X-rays or MRI, to precisely locate the target area. The doctor then inserts a thin needle through the skin to collect the tissue sample. This method is minimally invasive and helps ensure that the sample is taken from the right spot, allowing for accurate testing and diagnosis while reducing recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
