A CT or USG-guided biopsy (often listed as Tru-cut or fine-needle aspiration) is a diagnostic procedure used to obtain tissue samples from three different locations in the body for detailed laboratory analysis. The procedure is performed under imaging guidance using either Computed Tomography (CT) or Ultrasound (USG), depending on the location and accessibility of the lesions.

Imaging guidance ensures precise needle placement into each targeted site, allowing accurate sampling while minimizing risk to surrounding tissues. This approach is particularly useful when multiple suspicious lesions are present, or when assessing the spread of disease across different areas.

Each collected sample is sent for pathological examination to determine the presence of infection, inflammation, or cancer. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may take longer than single- or two-site biopsies due to multiple sample collections.

This test is commonly used for evaluating multiple lesions in organs such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, lymph nodes, or soft tissues. It is minimally invasive and plays a crucial role in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

This test is recommended for individuals with multiple abnormal findings requiring tissue diagnosis.

It is advised in the following cases:

• Presence of multiple suspicious lumps or lesions
• Abnormal findings on imaging studies (CT, MRI, USG)
• Suspected cancer with possible spread
• Need for sampling from multiple sites
• Unexplained lesions in different organs
• Follow-up evaluation of known conditions
