Bulk Billed Core Biopsy in Albany Creek
Core Biopsy
What Is a Core Biopsy?
A core biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure to collect tissue samples from organs or suspicious areas. CT guidance helps place the needle precisely to obtain accurate samples for diagnosis.
Why Use CT Guidance?
At Link Radiology, we use real-time CT imaging to guide the biopsy needle safely and accurately. This reduces risk and improves diagnostic reliability.
Your Safety and Comfort Come First
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic. We use low-dose CT protocols to minimise radiation exposure. Our experienced team monitors you closely throughout.
Diagnostic Accuracy for Better Treatment
Core biopsies help diagnose infections, cancers, or other abnormalities. The tissue samples provide essential information to guide your doctor’s treatment plan.

What is the purpose of a core biopsy?
To obtain a tissue sample for diagnosis of lumps, masses, or abnormal imaging findings, often to rule out or confirm cancer or infection.
Will the procedure hurt?

How long does it take?
Typically 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the location of the lesion and the imaging method used.
Are there any risks?
Minor risks include bruising, bleeding, or temporary discomfort. Serious complications are rare and will be discussed prior to your procedure.
When will I get the results?
The tissue sample is sent to a pathology lab. Results are usually available within a few days, and your referring doctor will discuss the findings with you.
Do I need a referral?
