Service Providers for Core Biopsy
A Core Biopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain a sample of tissue from an organ or abnormal mass for diagnostic testing. It involves the use of a hollow needle (core needle) to remove a small, cylindrical sample of tissue from the area of interest. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be done with the guidance of imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Core biopsies are commonly used to diagnose cancers, infections, or inflammatory conditions, particularly in breast, liver, prostate, and kidney tissue. The tissue sample is then sent to a laboratory for examination, and the results can help in making treatment decisions or determining the nature of the abnormality.
