How Image-guided Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) is performed
Under the guidance of imaging such as ultrasound, stereotactic positioning, or MRI, a core needle is percutaneously inserted under local anesthesia to obtain multiple tissue core specimens as needed. A common practice is to gradually calibrate the direction of needle insertion, perform immediate hemostasis after collection, and apply pressure bandaging; if applicable, a metal marker clip can be placed for subsequent localization. Postoperative short-term observation, the specimen is sent for pathology to clarify the nature and provide a basis for subsequent stratified management. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
