FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) | Accurate Lung Tissue Diagnosis
A minimally invasive technique to collect lung tissue samples for diagnosing infections, tuberculosis, or cancer.
What is FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)?
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect tissue or fluid samples from the lungs or pleura for laboratory examination. It is a crucial test for detecting lung infections, tuberculosis (TB), cancer, or other abnormalities.
Identifies lung tumors and cancerous growths.
Diagnoses tuberculosis (TB), pleural infections, or inflammatory diseases.
Helps in early detection of lung diseases without requiring open surgery.
Provides quick and accurate lab results for targeted treatment.
Who Needs an FNAC Test?
An FNAC test may be recommended if you experience:
Abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan findings
Persistent cough or unexplained weight loss
Lung or pleural nodules that need evaluation
Signs of tuberculosis (TB) or pleural effusion
Suspicion of lung cancer or metastasis
How is an FNAC Test Performed?
A quick and safe procedure performed by a specialist in a clinical setting.
Step 1
The area is numbed using a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
Step 2
A thin needle is inserted into the lung or pleural space under imaging guidance (CT/ultrasound).
Step 3
A small tissue or fluid sample is collected and sent for laboratory analysis.
Step 4
The procedure takes only 15-30 minutes, and you can usually go home the same day.
How to Prepare for an FNAC Test?
For optimal results, follow these simple preparation tips:
Inform your doctor about any blood-thinning medications.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the test if advised.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure if sedation is required.
