A pathologist studies body tissues under the microscope and gives the final diagnosis in many diseases, especially those which present as a swelling in any part of the body. This process involves taking a part of the tissue by biopsy (where a large chunk of tissue is taken) or by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) (where a small amount of tissue is taken by a needle). Many diseases like tuberculosis, blood disorders like leukaemia, swellings seen in the thyroid, salivary gland, breast, and lymph nodes are all diagnosed conclusively with the help of a pathologist. A pathologist also examines blood films (peripheral smear) to diagnose different types of anaemias or leukaemias. In Pulse Multi-specialty Clinic, these types of biopsies and FNAC are done under ultrasound guidance so that accurate localization of the lesion and thereby a correct diagnosis is made possible. In our institution, the radiologist and pathologist work hand-in-hand to give the best possible result to the patient.
