An ultrasound-guided procedure works through a needle prick in the skin. No cut. Usually no general anesthesia. No stitches. The doctor watches the needle on the screen in real time and guides it exactly where it needs to go: a nodule, a cyst, an abscess or a pocket of fluid. This way we take tissue for testing (a biopsy) or treat the problem by draining fluid or placing a drain. At Oberig Clinic these procedures are done by interventional radiologist Yurii Chyrkov, PhD, a senior-grade doctor.
What we do under ultrasound and CT
Ultrasound works for the thyroid, breasts, lymph nodes, liver, kidneys and other abdominal organs. Where sound waves cannot reach, we use CT. That means bones, lungs, the chest center and deep parts of the abdomen. Our Somatom Confidence scanner has special software for these procedures. It plans the needle path, and fluoroscopy mode shows the needle and the target live. Most ultrasound-guided procedures are outpatient. After a CT-guided one you may need a day in hospital.
Thyroid and breast biopsy
A thyroid fine-needle biopsy is advised for nodules of 1 cm or more, or smaller ones with worrying ultrasound signs. The needle is as thin as for a regular shot. It takes a few minutes. The clinic's own pathology center studies the cells, and molecular testing of the sample is available if needed. More on the thyroid biopsy page.
Breast biopsy under ultrasound
If a breast ultrasound finds a lump or cyst that looks doubtful, the doctor takes cells from it. This tells a fibroadenoma from cancer before any surgery. Ultrasound guidance also helps treat a breast abscess by needle drainage and rinsing. No scalpel, no anesthesia.
Common questions
Does it hurt?
It feels like a regular shot. We numb the skin with cream or a local anesthetic. After a fine-needle biopsy you can go straight back to your day.
When will I get the result?
It depends on the type of test. The doctor will tell you right after the procedure.
Prices and why Oberig Clinic
The price depends on the organ, the size and depth of the target and how complex the procedure is, so the final figure comes after the doctor has seen your scans. We advise a visit with an ultrasound doctor (PhD) beforehand. Lab testing of the cells is billed separately. For the thyroid, use the fine-needle biopsy of solid lesions line as a guide.
