USG-Guided Liver Biopsy
safe, precise, real-time.
A minimally invasive procedure that collects a small liver tissue sample under live ultrasound guidance — performed by expert radiologists with local anaesthesia, sterile technique and millimetre-level accuracy in West Delhi.
What a USG-guided liver biopsy is.
A safe, minimally invasive way to get a precise diagnosis of liver conditions.
How it works
Real-time ultrasound guides a fine needle to exactly the right spot in the liver.
- Live ultrasound imaging locates the precise target area.
- Under local anaesthesia, a small tissue sample is collected.
- The sample is examined in the lab for an accurate diagnosis.
When doctors recommend it
Your doctor may advise a liver biopsy to diagnose or monitor:
- Abnormal liver enzyme levels or function tests.
- Fatty liver disease (NASH / NAFLD).
- Chronic Hepatitis B or C infection.
- Liver masses, unexplained lumps or tumours.
- Assessment of cirrhosis or fibrosis.
