Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) thyroid biopsies are common; more than 600,000 will be performed in the United States this year. When assessing thyroid nodules, many physicians refer their patients to a regional hospital. However, the same high-quality ultrasound-guided FNA thyroid biopsy can be performed far less expensively—and more conveniently—by A.T. Radiology doctors in an outpatient setting.
Prior to a thyroid biopsy, most medications may be continued. If conscious sedation is needed, you may be instructed to withhold any food, liquid or medication administered by mouth for 8-12 hours prior to the biopsy. If needed, we will provide you with specific preparation instructions prior to your visit.
An email address will be required for any appointments. Email addresses help us notify patients of upcoming appointments, inform you if a follow up is necessary, and relay other important information. If you do not provide an email, unfortunately we will not be able to see you.
