Hi there
A friendly question

Liver biopsy is the removal of a small sample of tissue from the liver.

Here removal is used as a synonym for the invasive liver tissue specimen obtaining procedure?

Just curious... I checked few med. dictionaries but they too use word removal. Aren't there other more appropriate words to replace that cutting/pulling/taking etc procedure?

Thank you.

Fibroscan
I wonder if it's worth creating a separate article for Fibroscan with some information on the procedure. This is becoming a standard test for liver damage and it's probably going to become more prominent in future. Any thoughts? Bandanamerchant (talk) 21:04, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Should also be mentioned that Fibroscan is not a type of liver biopsy, it's an alternative to it (which would suggest having a different page might be a good idea). Bandanamerchant (talk) 00:35, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
