A CT Guided Lung Biopsy is a test where tiny sample of tissue (biopsy) is taken from lungs & sent for analysis. Percutaneous CT Guided needle biopsy of mediastinal and pulmonary lesions is a minimally invasive approach for obtaining tissue for histopathological examination. CT-Guided Tru-Cut Biopsy results are far better than FNAC.
