Outpatient Bone Marrow Cytological Examination
Bone Marrow Aspiration & Cytology performed outside a healthcare facility is a diagnostic procedure where a patient undergoes bone marrow sampling in an outpatient setting. The procedure involves obtaining a liquid sample of bone marrow for cytological examination, providing valuable insights into blood cell production and 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.
