Image-Guided Breast Sampling

What is Breast FNAC?

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology uses a thin needle to collect cells from a selected breast lump or imaging finding for cytology assessment.

Ultrasound guidance can help target an image-visible finding. FNAC and biopsy collect different types of samples, so the appropriate test depends on the clinical question.

Clear, clinically directed guidance

Understand the breast-care pathway and your next step

Plan Breast FNAC from the imaging finding

Breast FNAC is considered when the breast finding, imaging appearance and clinical question support that procedure. The target and method should be confirmed from current imaging rather than selected from a website alone.

Bring previous mammography, ultrasound, MRI or pathology records where available. Allergies, bleeding history and current medicines must be shared before an image-guided breast procedure.

Understand the sample, marker or localisation pathway

Breast FNAC, core biopsy, cyst aspiration, marker placement and wire localisation serve different purposes. The procedure team explains what is being done, how imaging guidance is used and what follow-up is expected.

Do not stop prescribed medicines unless specifically advised. Reporting, dressing care, observation and next steps depend on the procedure and the clinical plan.

How the Approaches Differ

Frequently Asked Questions

Breast FNAC FAQs

General educational information. Personal recommendations should come from an appropriate medical professional.

No. FNAC collects cells, while biopsy collects tissue. The appropriate procedure depends on the finding and clinical recommendation.

Ultrasound guidance may be used when the target is better visualised on imaging or requires precise needle placement.

It usually does not, but follow the specific instructions provided for your appointment and medicines.

The appropriate appointment depends on age, symptoms, clinical findings, screening history, previous breast imaging and the specific question being assessed.

Bring prior mammograms, ultrasound or MRI images and reports, prescriptions, pathology reports and details of previous breast procedures where available.

Imaging and procedure results should be considered with symptoms, examination, previous studies and the treating clinician’s assessment.

Rapidly worsening redness or swelling, fever, severe illness or another urgent concern should receive prompt clinical assessment.
