Ultra Sound (USG): Aspiration Under USG Control

Specimen Required

NONE

Fasting Required

Purpose of the Test

Aspiration under USG (ultrasound) control is a medical procedure used to obtain a tissue sample from a specific area of the body. It is typically done to diagnose the cause of a lump or growth, to determine the nature of fluid accumulation or to identify the cause of an infection.

When this test is required

Aspiration under USG control may be requested by a doctor when a lump or growth is found during a physical exam or imaging test, or if there is a fluid accumulation in the body. It may also be performed if a patient has an infection that is not responding to treatment or if there is a suspicion of cancer.

What the Test Detects

Aspiration under USG control is used to obtain a sample of tissue or fluid from a specific area of the body. The sample is then examined under a microscope to diagnose the underlying condition or disease.

Preparation for the Test

The preparation for aspiration under USG control may vary depending on the area of the body being tested. The patient may be asked to fast for a few hours before the procedure, or to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, for a specific period of time.

Sample Requirements

During the procedure, a needle is inserted through the skin and into the area of concern to obtain a tissue or fluid sample. No samples are required before the procedure.

Additional Notes

Aspiration under USG control is a safe and effective procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis. It may cause some discomfort or pain, but this can be managed with local anesthesia or mild sedation. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for post-procedure care to reduce the risk of complications.
