Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy offers CT-guided FNAC Consumables that are dedicated medical devices employed during the process of fine-needle aspiration that is guided by a CT scan. We have a well-established NABL & NABH certified diagnostic lab with state-of-the-art facilities to provide advanced Radiology & diagnostic imaging facilities, with simultaneous provision of procedure specific consumables for sampling various tissues.

About CT Guided FNAC Consumables

CT Guided FNAC Consumables will include all the sterile kits and accessories necessary for fine needle aspiration of the desired lesion/abnormal area of interest. They provide assistance to the radiologist who is operating the procedure under CT control, whilst maintaining proper sterile conditions. The need for consumable requirements may vary depending on the location of the lesion, sampling method, level of the needle and clinical requirements of the patient.

What Are CT-Guided FNAC Consumables?

CT-guided FNAC consumables are special medical supplies that are used during computed tomography (CT) guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The radiologist uses the aid of CT images to localize the area to be targeted and accurately insert the thin needle into the area and extract cells or a small amount of tissue and cells from the targeted area, for cytological examination. They might include fine aspiration needles/syringes, sterile gloves, drapes, preparation materials for skin, local anaesthetic (if required) or specimen slide/container, and dressings, among other consumables. The exact supplies used are related to biopsy site, sampling technique, and clinical requirements.

Common Reasons for CT-Guided FNAC

• Suspected tumours: For diagnosis – to decide if the tumour is benign or malignant.
• When there are lesions or masses in the lungs or chest: To obtain cells from particular areas of lesions or masses.
• Deep-seated abnormalities: To help in taking samples of lesions, which are not easily reached by palpation or other means of guidance.
• Previous lesions identified: To get more cells if additional diagnostic work is required.

Conditions Evaluated

Benign and Malignant Lesions

Use of FNA samples will aid the cytologist in assessing the cytological features of the cells and look for the cells that could represent benign or malignant processes.

Lung and Chest Abnormalities

Cytological examination can be done on isolated nodules, masses, or any lesion detected in the chest with the help of CT-guided FNAC for cellular material.

Lymph Node Abnormalities

This can be done to assist with taking a sample from enlarged or suspicious lymph nodes for testing.

Deep-Seated Masses

CT guidance is needed to assist the radiologist, and also to direct the fine needle to the lesions selected in the organ so that the cells can be sampled.

Inflammatory and Infective Changes

When clinically indicated as an aid to investigation of inflammatory/infective disease, aspirated material can be analysed.
