FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY (FNAC)

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY (FNAC) Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a diagnostic procedure in which a thin, hollow needle is inserted into a mass or lump, such as a cyst, to obtain a sample of cells for examination under a microscope. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is relatively quick, simple, and safe. The needle used for FNAC is thin and hollow, and it is inserted into the mass or lump. The cells are then suctioned out of the mass or lump and collected on a microscope slide. The slide is then sent to a laboratory for examination. The procedure is usually performed by a Cytopathologist or a Pathologist. FNAC is commonly used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to: thyroid nodules, breast lumps, lymph nodes, and liver cysts. The procedure can also be used to diagnose cancer, infection, or inflammation. It is especially useful when a mass is not accessible for a biopsy or when a patient is not able to ...

Hemoglobin test (HGB test)

The HGB test, also known as a hemoglobin test, is a blood test that measures the amount of hemoglobin in a person's blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. The test is used to detect anemia, a condition in which there is a lack of oxygen in the body due to a low number of red blood cells or a low amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for anemia and to check for bleeding or other conditions that may cause a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that gives them their red color and helps to transport oxygen throughout the body. The HGB test measures the amount of hemoglobin in a person's blood in order to determine whether they have anemia, a condition in which there is a lack of oxygen in the body due to a low number of red blood cells or a low amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Anemia can h...

Bone marrow aspiration /imprint smear

Bone marrow aspiration /imprint smear Bone marrow aspiration and imprint smear are laboratory techniques used to obtain and examine samples of bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue found inside certain bones. Bone marrow is responsible for producing new blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Bone marrow aspiration is a medical procedure in which a small amount of bone marrow is removed from the patient's hip or breastbone using a thin, hollow needle. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is relatively quick and painless. Once the bone marrow sample is obtained, it is sent to a laboratory for analysis. An Imprint smear is a laboratory technique that creates a thin film of bone marrow on a microscope slide. This is done by placing a small amount of bone marrow onto a microscope slide and spreading it out using a glass microscope slide. The slide is then fixed, stained, and examined under a microscope. The examinati...
