CT GUIDED FNAC 2.5

CT Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology – English + Bengali SEO Content

CT Guided FNAC (2.5 cm lesion) is an advanced and minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue or cellular samples from deep-seated or small lesions (around 2.5 cm in size) that cannot be accurately accessed by routine clinical examination or ultrasound guidance.

সহজ ভাষায় বলতে গেলে, CT Scan-এর সাহায্যে সূক্ষ্ম সুই দিয়ে শরীরের গভীরে থাকা ২.৫ সেমি আকারের গাঁট বা লেশন থেকে কোষ সংগ্রহ করার পরীক্ষাই CT Guided FNAC।

What is CT Guided FNAC?

CT Guided FNAC stands for Computed Tomography Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. In this procedure, a CT scanner is used to precisely guide a fine needle into a suspicious lesion to collect cells for microscopic examination.

• Lesion is located deep inside the body

• Vital organs or blood vessels surround the lesion

Why CT Guidance is Important for 2.5 cm Lesions?

Precise needle placement

• Minimal tissue damage

• Higher diagnostic accuracy

• Reduced complication risk

এই কারণে ছোট লেশন বা গভীরে থাকা গাঁটের ক্ষেত্রে CT Guided FNAC সবচেয়ে নির্ভরযোগ্য পদ্ধতি।

Organs Commonly Evaluated by CT Guided FNAC

CT Guided FNAC is commonly used for lesions in:

• Lung (pulmonary nodules)

• Liver

• Pancreas

• Kidney

• Adrenal gland

• Retroperitoneal masses

• Mediastinal lesions

• Deep lymph nodes

Indications of CT Guided FNAC (2.5 cm)

CT/MRI shows a suspicious 2.5 cm lesion

• Malignancy (cancer) is suspected

• Infection or granulomatous disease needs confirmation

• Previous biopsy results are inconclusive

How is CT Guided FNAC Performed?

The procedure is performed in a CT scan room under strict sterile conditions.

Step-by-step procedure:

1. Patient positioning based on lesion location

2. Preliminary CT scan to localize the lesion

3. Skin cleaning and local anesthesia

4. Fine needle insertion under CT guidance

5. Aspiration of cellular material

6. Sample sent to pathology laboratory

⏱️ Procedure time: 20–30 minutes
✔ Usually done as a day care procedure

Is CT Guided FNAC Painful or Risky?

Minor bleeding

• Infection

• Pneumothorax (in lung FNAC)

Laboratory Examination & Reporting

Collected samples are:

• Prepared as cytology smears

• Stained with PAP / MGG stains

• Examined by expert cytopathologists

In selected cases:

• Cell block preparation

• Immunocytochemistry (IHC)

• Molecular tests

⏱️ Report time: 24–72 hours

Interpretation of CT Guided FNAC Report

• Malignant lesion – Cancer confirmed
• Inadequate sample – Repeat FNAC may be needed
