About This Test
This CT-guided trucut biopsy involves obtaining core tissue samples from suspicious lesions using imaging for precise needle placement. It is indicated for solid tumors, masses, or deep-seated lesions in organs such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, or soft tissues. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and includes disposable needle and equipment charges. High-resolution CT imaging ensures accurate targeting of the lesion, minimizing risk and maximizing diagnostic yield. The collected tissue is analyzed for histopathology, aiding diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical decision-making. It is safe, fast, and allows precise sampling for effective patient management.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. WHAT is CT guided aspiration SCAN.
Ans-It is possible to remove cells from the target region using a pinhole non-invasive diagnostic process called CECT-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (CECT-guided FNAC) and examine them under a microscope for confirmation and diagnosis. A thin needle or syringe is used to remove cells from target areas (such as the breast, skin, or any soft tissue) through the skin while being guided by a CECT scan to reduce the chance of error.
2. Is the scan painful?
Ans -No. It is completely painless. You just need to lie still..
3. Do I need contrast?
Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
condition.
condition.
4. How long does a CT scan take?
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
5. Is CT safe?
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
