FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration) and drain placement are medical procedures often guided by ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) imaging to diagnose or treat various conditions. Here's an overview of these procedures:

FNA (US-guided): US-guided FNA is a technique used to extract small tissue or fluid samples from areas like the neck or axilla. It aids in the diagnosis of various conditions, including thyroid nodules, lymph node abnormalities, or suspicious masses.

Abdominal or Thoracic Drain Placement: Drain placement in the abdominal or thoracic regions is often performed under CT or US guidance to manage conditions like pleural effusion, ascites, or abscesses. These drains help remove excess fluid, providing relief and promoting healing.

Procedure: Both FNA and drain placement procedures involve the insertion of a needle or catheter through the skin into the target area. The guidance of imaging ensures precise and safe placement.

Consultation: If you require diagnostic or therapeutic procedures such as FNA or drain placement, consulting with a healthcare provider is essential. Dr. Randy Lehman at Liberty Clinic is experienced in performing these procedures, offering expert care for patients with a variety of medical needs.
