How is Ultrasound used in conjunction with Histology?
Ultrasound imaging employs sound waves to produce real-time images of tissues, making it an essential tool in histological examinations. It is widely used for guiding needle biopsies, as it allows clinicians to visualize the tissue being sampled. The non-ionizing nature of ultrasound makes it safe for repeated use, and its real-time feedback is crucial in ensuring accurate tissue sampling. Ultrasound's ability to differentiate between solid and cystic structures aids in the preliminary assessment of tissue pathology before histological analysis.
