USG Guided Fine Needle Aspiration and Cytology at Kharghar (USG FNAC)

Precision-Guided Minimally Invasive Diagnostic Procedures

Expert USG Guided FNAC in Kharghar

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) under ultrasound guidance is a highly accurate, minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing lumps and masses. At Pixel Diagnostics in Kharghar, our experienced radiologists perform USG-guided FNAC with precision, ensuring accurate cell sampling and patient safety.

What is USG Guided FNAC?

USG guided FNAC involves using a thin needle, guided by real-time ultrasound imaging, to extract cells from a suspicious lump or mass. The collected cells are then examined under a microscope by a pathologist. This technique is commonly used for thyroid nodules, breast lumps, lymph nodes, and other superficial or deep masses.

Advantages of Ultrasound Guidance

Real-time ultrasound guidance ensures the needle reaches the exact target area, improving accuracy and reducing the need for repeat procedures. It allows sampling of deep-seated lesions safely and helps avoid blood vessels and other vital structures.

The Procedure

The area is cleaned and locally anesthetized. Under ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is inserted into the lump. Cells are aspirated and sent for cytological examination. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes and most patients can go home immediately after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is USG FNAC painful?

Local anesthesia is applied, so you feel only minimal discomfort. Most patients describe it as a brief pinch.

When will I get results?

FNAC results are typically available within 24-48 hours.

Is FNAC the same as biopsy?

FNAC collects individual cells while a biopsy collects a tissue sample. Both are diagnostic but serve different purposes.
