Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) – Quick and Accurate Diagnosis of Lumps and Masses

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple, quick, and minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose lumps or masses in the body. At Shree Shiv Digital X-ray & Sonography (Color Doppler) Clinic, we offer expert FNAC services to provide accurate and timely diagnoses for conditions such as cysts, tumors, and infections. Whether you have a suspicious lump in your neck, breast, or elsewhere, FNAC can help determine its nature and guide the appropriate treatment plan.

The procedure involves using a thin, hollow needle to extract a small sample of cells from the lump or mass. The sample is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to determine whether it is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). FNAC is particularly useful for diagnosing thyroid nodules, breast lumps, lymph node abnormalities, and soft tissue masses.

One of the key advantages of FNAC is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike surgical biopsies, which require incisions and general anesthesia, FNAC is performed under local anesthesia and involves only a small needle puncture. This means less pain, no stitches, and a quicker recovery time for the patient. The procedure typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.

FNAC is also highly accurate when performed by experienced professionals. At Shree Shiv Digital X-ray & Sonography (Color Doppler) Clinic, our skilled radiologists and pathologists work together to ensure that the sample is collected and analyzed correctly, providing reliable results that guide your treatment plan. In some cases, FNAC may be combined with imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, to improve accuracy and target hard-to-reach areas.

At Shree Shiv X Ray & Sonography Clinic, we understand that undergoing a diagnostic procedure can be stressful, which is why we strive to make the FNAC process as comfortable and convenient as possible. Our friendly staff will guide you through every step, from preparation to the actual procedure, ensuring that you feel at ease throughout the experience.
