CT Guided FNAC

CT-guided FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a minimally invasive procedure where a radiologist uses real-time CT scans to precisely guide a thin needle into deep-seated lumps or masses to extract cells for testing. It is primarily used to diagnose tumors, cysts, and infections in hard-to-reach areas like the lungs or deep lymph nodes.
