Bone Marrow Cytological Examination
BMAC
Bone Marrow Aspiration & Cytology is a diagnostic procedure used to obtain a liquid sample of bone marrow for examination under a microscope. The procedure helps in the evaluation of cellular components within the bone marrow, providing insights into blood cell production, abnormalities, and various hematological conditions.
The aspiration component involves drawing a liquid sample of bone marrow using a thin needle, allowing for the examination of cellular elements, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The cytology component involves the microscopic examination of the bone marrow aspirate to identify and characterize cells, detect abnormal cell types, and assess the overall cellular composition of the bone marrow.
