A CT-guided fine needle aspiration is a procedure where a doctor uses CT imaging to locate a small lesion or abnormal area in your body, then carefully inserts a thin needle to collect a tiny sample of cells or tissue for examination under a microscope. You might need this procedure if your doctor has found a suspicious spot on an imaging scan and needs to determine whether it is cancer, an infection, or another condition. During the procedure, you'll lie still on a CT scanner table while the doctor guides the needle to the target area using real-time imaging to ensure accuracy.
