Image-guided biopsies are procedures that involve the removal of small tissue samples from the body organs using various imaging techniques like CT and ultrasound using a local anaesthetic and a needle. For most patients, these biopsies are painless although some might feel mild discomfort during the procedure.
Most healthcare providers and doctors suggest that image-guided biopsies are one of the most reliable and accurate methods to determine the nature of a wide variety of diseases. An image-guided biopsy is usually painless, safe and easier to tolerate as compared to surgical biopsies. The recovery time is much lower and with minimal complications.
Why is Image Guided Painless Biopsy advised by the doctors?
There can be a variety of reasons why image-guided painless biopsies are advised by doctors. Some of them are mentioned below.
What types of diseases can be diagnosed through image-guided painless / aspiration biopsies?
Expertise of Action Cancer Hospital in Image Guided Painless Biopsy
At Action Cancer Hospital, we have a skilled team of doctors and healthcare providers having vast experience in image-guided painless biopsies, particularly for diagnosing cancer and other diseases using advanced imaging techniques and ensuring accurate results for treatment. These biopsies are minimally invasive procedures that use imaging techniques to guide the placement of needles to obtain the samples of the tissue for diagnosis.
The interventional radiologist may also use technologies like ultrasound, CT and X-rays to perform these biopsies allowing for precise diagnosis. The results obtained are vital for the oncologists and infectious disease specialists to make important treatment decisions based on the diagnosis.
In addition to image-guided biopsies, the hospital also performs non-invasive vascular imaging and venous sampling, thereby providing comprehensive care for patients who are undergoing cancer care and treatment.
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a thin, hollow needle to extract cellular material from a lump or mass. This minimally invasive technique, performed under imaging guidance, helps diagnose various conditions with minimal discomfort.
Know moreCore needle biopsies involve extracting a core of tissue using a hollow needle for diagnosing various conditions. This procedure is performed under imaging guidance to ensure precise targeting of the area of interest, providing an accurate diagnosis with minimal discomfort.
Know moreA vacuum-assisted biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain larger tissue samples from suspicious areas. This technique uses a vacuum-powered instrument and imaging guidance to accurately target and remove tissue, improving diagnostic accuracy.
Know moreA bone marrow biopsy involves extracting a small sample of bone marrow tissue for diagnosing blood disorders, cancers, and other conditions affecting the bone marrow. This procedure is performed using imaging guidance to ensure accurate and painless sample collection.
Know moreA splenic biopsy is a procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from the spleen to diagnose conditions such as infections, cancers, or other splenic diseases. The procedure is performed using imaging guidance to ensure precise and safe tissue sampling.
Know moreA bone biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from bone for diagnosing conditions such as infections, cancers, or other bone diseases. Using imaging guidance, a needle is precisely inserted into the bone to extract the sample, ensuring accurate and safe tissue collection.
Know moreA vertebral biopsy is a procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from a vertebra (bone in the spine) to diagnose conditions such as infections, cancers, or other bone diseases. This procedure is performed using imaging guidance to accurately locate and sample the affected vertebra, ensuring precise and safe tissue extraction.
Know moreA plugged biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain tissue samples from various organs or tissues for diagnostic purposes. The technique involves the insertion of a biopsy needle with the aid of imaging guidance to accurately target the area of interest. Once the sample is obtained, a plug of material is used to seal the biopsy track, reducing the risk of bleeding and other complications.
Know moreA trans-jugular liver biopsy (TJLB) is a procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from the liver through the jugular vein. This method is particularly useful for patients with bleeding disorders or ascites, as it minimizes the risk of complications.
Know moreA trans-jugular renal biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from the kidney for diagnostic purposes. By accessing the kidney through the jugular vein, this technique reduces the risk of bleeding and other complications compared to traditional biopsy methods.
