Pancreatic FNA

Sonopath Forum

I need to do an FNA of the right limb of an 80# lab’s pancrease.

Approach?  Link to a description of the procedure?

Thanks, Leon

Put him on his left side down

Put him on his left side down and go to position 15 of SDEP and find the lesion. Press down with your scanning hand or a pair of techs hands to push the pancreas to the body wall minimizing the real estate needle to lesion. Then stick like anything else…. 22 g usually does it.

Here’s a good case example of fna and core bx of a similar sized dog from case of the month a couple of years ago:
