Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a technique by which medical doctors (pathologists) get cells from patients by sticking a thin needle into a suspicious lump or bump ("mass"). Here, Dr. Erika Doxtader shows how a real cytopathologist (specialist in this technique) does it. Here she's performing FNA on a training dummy named Fiona (FioNA, get it?) at the #USCAP2018 meeting. The dummy was invented by Spanish pathologist Eduardo Alcaraz (he's the guy in the background) for training pathologists how to do FNAs.
