non-invasive
No cutting required
Non-invasive describes procedures or methods that don't require entering the body through incisions or insertions.
Medical imaging like X-rays and MRIs are non-invasive, as opposed to surgery or biopsies.
The term extends beyond medicine to anything that avoids intrusion or disruption: non-invasive monitoring, a non-invasive approach to wildlife study.
Also spelled noninvasive.
