A CT guided biopsy of the ureter is a minimally invasive procedure where a doctor uses CT imaging to guide a small needle to take a tissue sample from the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. This procedure may be recommended if imaging has shown an abnormality in the ureter that needs to be examined under a microscope to determine if it is cancer, an infection, or another condition. During the procedure, you will lie still while the doctor uses CT scans to locate the area of concern, then carefully inserts a needle to collect the tissue sample, which typically takes less than an hour.
