Q

describe the key abnormality diagnostic method

A

Step 1: general physical examination: for detection of clinically significant abnormalities
Step 2: special examination of suspect systems or organs: physical and laboratory
Step 3: special examination of identified system: exploratory, laparatomy, endoscopy, radiography
Step 4: special examination of lesion: biopsy, response to treatment, examination of fluids
step 5: special examination of specimens: blood, urine, feed, or soil samples by chemical, microbiological, or parasitological means
