CT-Guided Biopsy (HOSPITAL BASED)
A CT-Guided Biopsy is a procedure where we collect tissue or a fluid specimen from an organ or suspected tumor mass. Using Computed Tomography (CT) allows for incredible precision as the physician collects the sample. By examining the cells or tissue, we can get a definite diagnosis of whether or not there is cancer located in the area of concern. We offer CT-guided biopsies for:
- Liver
- Chest/Lung
- Chemoembolization of liver tumors
- Radioembolization of liver tumors
- Kidney biopsy
- Abscess drainage
