Noninvasive and Invasive Testing
Noninvasive means the body is not entered with any type of instrument.
Invasive means accessing the body’s tissue, organ, or cavity through some type of instrumentation procedure.

Ultrasonography
Ultrasound (echogram) is a noninvasive study that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize deep body structures.
A transducer emits waves that travel through the body tissue and are reflected back to the transducer and recorded.
The varying density of body tissues deflects the waves into a differentiated pattern on an oscilloscope.

Aspiration/Biopsy
Aspiration is performed to withdraw fluid that has abnormally collected, or to obtain a specimen.
A tissue biopsy (excision of a small amount of tissue) can be obtained during aspiration or with other diagnostic tests.
