Interventions (FNAC & Biopsy)
Ultrasound-guided procedures — FNAC, biopsy, aspirations and drainages — done precisely and safely at Baddi, Nalagarh and Pinjore.
A needle, guided by ultrasound, in the right spot
When a lump or fluid needs sampling, ultrasound shows the radiologist exactly where the needle must go — in real time. That makes the procedure safer, quicker and more accurate than sampling without imaging, especially for small or deep lesions.
- FNAC — fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules, breast lumps, lymph nodes and cysts
- Core biopsy — a small tissue core for histopathology
- Aspiration & drainage — cysts, abscesses and fluid collections
A local anaesthetic is used before most procedures, so discomfort is minimal. Most take 15–30 minutes, and samples go straight to our in-house pathology lab.
Before the procedure
Bring a recent CBC and PT/INR for core biopsies. If you take aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin or a newer blood thinner, tell us at booking — your doctor will tell you how many days to stop it, if it can be stopped at all. Never stop a blood thinner on your own. Most procedures need no fasting.
During the procedure
You lie comfortably; the area is cleaned and numbed; the radiologist guides the needle under live ultrasound. You may feel brief pressure.
Afterwards
A small dressing covers the site. FNAC results usually in 24–48 hours; biopsy reports in a few days. Your doctor plans the next step.
We explain the procedure and take your written consent first. Small risks include bruising or bleeding at the site, infection, and — for samples near the lung — a small chance of air leak. Sometimes the sample is not enough to give an answer and the test has to be repeated or a biopsy advised.
