Answer: This is a huge category and includes almost all major surgeries and many diagnostic tests. If it leaves a scar, it is most likely an invasive procedure. Invasive procedures may be required to remove a tumor, repair a broken bone, or stop internal bleeding. Of course, these are just three examples: there are literally dozens of other indications for invasive procedures. Non-invasive procedures are also quite common.

Answer: The major difference between invasive and non-invasive tests is that invasive tests are done by cutting or entering a body part using medical instruments, whereas non-invasive tests do not require breaking the skin or entering the body. Non-invasive tests include deep palpation, x-rays, and checking blood pressure.
