Breast Biopsy is performed by guiding a needle and ultrasound imaging to locate and remove some cells from a suspicious area in the breast. These cells are then sent to a lab to determine if they are benign or cancerous.

Lymph Node Biopsy is performed by guiding a needle and ultrasound imaging to locate and remove some cells from the lymph nodes. These cells are then sent to a lab to determine if they are benign or cancerous.

Breast Biopsy is performed by guiding a needle and MRI imaging to locate and remove some cells from a suspicious area in the breast. These cells are then sent to a lab to determine if they are benign or cancerous. Performed at Princeton Medical Center.

Prostate Biopsy is performed by guiding Princeton Radiology’s unique prostate MRI imaging on our Wide Bore 3T MRI machine that provides a 3D color map displaying potential prostate tumor sites. Our radiologists then use these images to obtain cells from the targeted suspicious areas. These cells are tested in a lab to determine if they are cancerous. Due to the precise targeting provided by MRI many fewer biopsy samples are needed for accurate diagnosis – sometimes 80-90% fewer than traditional ultrasound-guided biopsy. Fewer needle sticks means lower risk of infection, bleeding, pain, and a shorter recovery time.

Bone Marrow Biopsy is performed using images from a CT scanner to accurately guide a needle into the bone and remove a sample for testing.

Cyst Aspiration is performed by guiding an ultrasound probe over the site of a breast cyst and numbing the area with local anesthesia. The breast radiologist then places a small needle directly into the cyst and withdraws fluid.

Paracentesis is a procedure which involves the extraction of fluid from the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen guiding a needle and ultrasound imaging. The fluid collected is sent to a lab for analysis. Unexplained fluid in the abdomen is most commonly caused by liver cirrhosis.
