Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

Following your CT scan sometimes a test known as an FNA is required.  Whilst taking pictures with the CT scanner a small needle is inserted into your chest and cells sucked up into the needle.  This is then sent to the lab to look for cancer cells.

The test is performed by a specialist doctor using local anaesthetic to make sure the test is not too painful.
