Image-Guided Biopsy in Lucknow is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue samples from deep or hard-to-reach organs safely without open surgery. Using CT, ultrasound, or fluoroscopic guidance, a fine needle is precisely advanced into the suspicious lesion to confirm diagnosis while avoiding nearby vital structures.
This technique is especially valuable for lung, liver, bone, lymph node, abdominal, and retroperitoneal lesions where conventional biopsy is risky or inaccurate.
What Is an Image-Guided Biopsy?
A biopsy is the removal of a small tissue sample for microscopic examination.
In image-guided biopsy, real-time imaging helps the doctor target the abnormal area accurately, increasing diagnostic success and reducing complications.
Types include:
-
CT-guided biopsy
-
Ultrasound-guided biopsy
-
Bone biopsy
-
Lung nodule biopsy
Why Is It Needed?
Doctors recommend biopsy when imaging shows a suspicious mass but confirmation is required before starting treatment.
It helps diagnose:

Cancer and metastasis
