A CT-guided biopsy is a diagnostic procedure performed to obtain a tissue sample for conducting a biopsy. Here, the required sample is collected using a needle. The needle is inserted into the desired part of the body. And to make sure that it is reaching the exact area in mind, the procedure will be guided by a computed tomography (CT) scanner. It gives images of the needle position on a computer screen so that one can access the desired part without doing surgery.
