Ultrasound-guided Biopsy

Ultrasound-guided biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect tissue samples from areas inside the body for testing. During the procedure, an ultrasound machine uses sound waves to create real-time images of the area of interest, helping the doctor see precisely where to guide a thin needle. This allows for accurate sampling from tumors or other abnormalities. The collected tissue is then examined in a laboratory to help diagnose conditions such as cancer or infections. This method is minimally invasive, usually causing less discomfort and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical biopsies.
