Relating to or involving the examination of living tissue samples from a patient's body.
From 'bio-' (life) and Greek 'optikos' (relating to sight), combining the idea of seeing living tissues; used in medical terminology since the early 20th century.
A bioptic examination lets doctors literally peek at your cells while you're alive, which is way better than waiting until something goes really wrong!
