Aspiration with Fine Needle Cost in Korea
Aspiration with fine needle, also known as Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA), is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure commonly performed in Korean clinics to sample or drain fluid from cysts, nodules, or masses. It is widely used for evaluating thyroid nodules, lymph nodes, soft tissue masses, and cystic lesions. Korean medical facilities are well-equipped with experienced professionals offering precise, ultrasound-guided aspiration at affordable rates.
