Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate thyroid nodules. Performed under ultrasound guidance, it allows the physician to accurately collect a small tissue sample from the targeted area for cytological examination. The results help determine the nature of the thyroid nodule and assist your physician in choosing the most appropriate follow-up or treatment plan.
When is FNAB recommended?
- A thyroid nodule has been detected during an ultrasound examination.
- Your physician recommends further evaluation of a thyroid nodule.
- The thyroid nodule is increasing in size or changing in appearance.
- Ultrasound findings indicate the need for additional diagnostic assessment.
- Follow-up evaluation of a previously diagnosed thyroid nodule is required.
- There is a suspicion of malignant changes based on the clinical examination or ultrasound findings.
