Precision 3D CT scan guidance for detecting deep-seated lesions or tumors in the body.
CT-Guided FNAC is an advanced form of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. In deep areas of the body—such as inside the abdomen, lungs, or behind bones—where standard needles cannot reach, CT scan 3D imaging guides the needle with extreme accuracy.
The CT scanner scans the patient and calculates the precise 3D coordinates of the lesion. Following these coordinates, an interventional radiologist uses an ultra-fine needle to collect fluid or cell samples directly from lesions in the lungs or deep abdominal lymph nodes, which are then sent for pathology lab testing.
If there is a suspicious infection, nodule, or suspected spread of cancer in the lungs that cannot be reached using standard bronchoscopy, CT-guided FNAC is recommended.
It is the gold standard for pathology analysis of tissue from complex cysts or nodules located deep within the abdomen, retroperitoneal space (the deep region near the spine), pancreas, or liver.
When there are lesions, tuberculosis, or tumors behind the vertebrae of the spine, doctors recommend this test to collect pus or cell samples to track disease progression and evaluate medication effectiveness.
Before the test, you must bring your blood clotting test reports (PT with INR, CBC, and Platelets). Blood-thinning medications (such as Aspirin or Warfarin) must be temporarily stopped 5 to 7 days prior to the procedure under doctor guidance.
For abdominal FNAC procedures, patients are usually asked to fast for 4–6 hours to reduce bowel movements, eliminate gas, and prepare for contrast dye use if required.
To ensure kidney health and clearance for contrast dye use, bring your Serum Creatinine test report along with any previous X-ray or CT scan films.
You may experience mild dizziness or effects from local anesthesia after the procedure. For safety, bring a family member with you and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal buttons.

Using 3D CT scan guidance, cell samples can be collected with extreme precision even from deep parts of the body. This allows quick and accurate detection of cancer or tumors without major surgery.
Up to 95% Cancer Detection Success Rate: Due to precise guidance, the success rate of detecting cancer or other serious conditions in this test is around 95%.
Almost Zero Risk of False Reports: Accurate directional guidance from the CT scanner eliminates the risk of incorrect needle insertion or false readings.
Quick Procedure Taking Only 20–30 Minutes: The entire procedure is very fast and is usually completed within 20 to 30 minutes.
Deep Tissue Sampling Without Surgery: It is a modern solution to safely collect samples from deep-seated tumors or infections without surgery.
CT-guided FNAC is a very safe, modern, and life-saving technology for sampling deep, specific lesions while avoiding major surgery. Follow your doctor’s instructions without any fear or hesitation.
