CT guided biopsy can assist your doctor in obtaining a biopsy, like a needle biopsy, in order to guide the needle to the site of the biopsy and to provide rapid and accurate location of the needle. CT enables imaging of areas that are typically can't be seen. This allows your doctor to see the targeted area clearly and help to ensure that the tissue being removed is from the appropriate one.
The CT guided biopsy requires that you be placed into the CT scanner, typically a small, enclosed area. Depending on the specific type of biopsies that you are having done, certain anesthetics will be used, so you're your doctor about any drug.
About Bay Area Heart & Body Scan
HeartScan is a leading service provider of non-invasive preventative and diagnostic services that will help you towards your goal of a healthier life.
HeartScan uses Electron Beam Tomography (EBT or EBCT) technology, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool, to screen patients for several leading causes of death. The EBT scanner is an extremely fast, ultra low radiation diagnostic imaging tool that can take cardiac and other images between heartbeats. Special software manipulates these images to give your physician a clear picture of each scanned organ.
EBT is the undisputed gold standard in non-invasive coronary imaging with years of scientific validation in cardiology and radiology literature (many times faster than slower, less-proven, mechanical CT scanners) and is used at many of the major university heart centers worldwide.
