We are Delaware's leading outpatient facility for Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Thyroid Nodules. What is this procedure?
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of thyroid nodules is minimally invasive and safe and is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Real-time ultrasound permits visualization of the needle within the lesion, thereby facilitating accurate biopsy of small non-palpable nodules. Even in palpable thyroid nodules, US guidance is superior to palpation for obtaining adequate material for an accurate cytological evaluation. in the presence of multiple nodules, FNA is indicated. However, before the procedure is performed, a meticulous search should be conducted with US for suspicious features. The US features that are suggestive of malignancy include micro calcifications, marked hypo echogenicity, an irregular or micro lobulated margin, a longitudinal dimension larger than the cross-sectional dimension, intrinsic vascularity, direct tumor invasion of adjacent soft tissue, and metastasis to one or more lymph nodes.
FNA is the most accurate and cost-effective method for diagnostic evaluation of thyroid nodules. The false-negative rate with palpation-guided FNA (1%–3%) was higher than that with US-guided FNA (0.6%)

What does that mean for me, a Delaware Diagnostic Imaging patient?
Quite simply, it means that your thyroid biopsy will involve a fine needle (25) guage, minimal discomfort, and minimal inconvenience. You can go about the rest of your day normally. We use local anaesthesia in three stages to numb you so that you do not have any pain and experience minimal discomfort. This is our specialty and what we are known for!
