Real-time imaging guidance for FNAC, biopsies, and fluid aspirations — performed by experienced radiologists in a safe, sterile environment.
Ultrasound-guided procedures combine expert clinical judgment with real-time imaging precision. The target area is visualised throughout the procedure, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient safety — while minimising discomfort and the risk of complications.
All procedures at Hetu Clinic are:
Patients are briefed in detail before and after every procedure to ensure complete comfort and understanding.
Minimally invasive, precisely targeted, and designed for fast recovery.
FNAC is a minimally invasive technique in which a fine needle is used to extract cells from a lump or swelling for microscopic examination under ultrasound guidance.
To determine whether a lesion is benign, inflammatory, or malignant.
Thyroid, breast, lymph nodes, salivary glands, superficial soft tissue.
Advantages: Quick, cost-effective, and usually does not require anaesthesia. Most patients experience only mild discomfort for a few seconds.
A core biopsy collects a small tissue sample using a special needle under ultrasound guidance — providing a larger, more representative specimen than FNAC for histopathological analysis.
Histopathological analysis — for definitive tissue diagnosis where FNAC is inconclusive.
Liver, breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, soft tissue, abdominal or pelvic masses.
Advantages: High diagnostic accuracy, minimally invasive, and quick recovery. Performed under local anaesthesia for patient comfort.
Fluid collections — such as abscesses, cysts, or seromas — can be safely aspirated or drained under real-time ultrasound guidance for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Diagnostic (culture or cytology) and therapeutic (relieve discomfort, control infection).
Liver, abdomen, pelvis, or soft tissue collections requiring drainage.
Advantages: Avoids surgical procedures, provides immediate therapeutic relief, performed under aseptic conditions with minimal downtime.
Every guided procedure at Hetu is conducted with meticulous care — before, during, and after.
Interventional procedures performed by radiologists with subspecialty expertise in image-guided interventions.
High-resolution ultrasound systems provide real-time visualisation — ensuring the needle reaches exactly the right target.
Patients are briefed before every procedure and receive clear post-procedure monitoring guidance and follow-up instructions.
