Minimally invasive: A ct guided fine needle biopsy is performed by an interventional radiologist and in ideal situation will have a cytopathologist evaluating the samples at the bed side. The ct is used to guide the needle to the target to acquire a sample. It is usually done with local but sedation can be used . In the right hands it is a very high yield test.
