Transthoracic puncture biopsy under CT in Casablanca

Radiologist

The purpose of this test is to take a sample (biopsy) of a nodule or a spot in the lung. It involves making a puncture between the ribs, then guiding the needle through the lung to the task (under visual control with a scanner) to take samples. This examination will, in the majority of cases, determine the nature of the image your doctor is wondering about. The radiologist will use the ultrasound or the scanner to guide himself and to make the procedure safer, depending on the case. These techniques allow you to locate organs, choose the right point of entry for the needle and follow its path. Since the scanner uses X-rays, this is an irradiating examination.
