Measuring the pulse rate
Measuring blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer
Additional tools used in physical examinations include the ophthalmoscope (, for examination of the eyes; the otoscope , for examination of the ears; hammers, for testing reflexes, and the blood pressure cuff or sphygmo manometer
examine (sth) by feeling with the hands, esp as part of a medical examination
• Percussion(precussion sound): tapping the body and listening to the sounds produced . • Auscultation: listening to body sounds with a stethoscope
A physical examination, which includes a review of all systems and observation of any signs of illness, follows the history taking. Practitioners use the following techniques in performing physicals:

Treatment
If diagnosis so indicates, treatment, also termed therapy, is begun. This may consist of counseling, drugs,surgery, radiation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychiatric treatment, or a combination of these. During diagnosis and throughout the course of treatment, a patient is evaluated to establish a prognosis, that is, a prediction of the outcome of the disease.

Imaging Techniques Imaging techniques are the use of various physical forces to produce visual images of the body. The most fundamental imaging method is radiography, which uses x-rays to produce a picture (radiograph) on sensitized film. Radiography is best at showing dense tissues, such as bone, but views of soft tissue can be enhanced by using a contrast medium, such as a barium mixture, to outline the tissue. Other forms of energy used to produce diagnostic images include sound waves, radioactive isotopes, radio waves, and magnetic fields.
