Q
Ophthalmoscope
A
Ophthalmoscope is used to examine the eyes.
25
Otoscope
Otoscope is used to examine the ears.
26
Nasal speculum
used to examine the nose.
27
Auscultation
listening to body sounds with a stethoscope. It is useful for examining the heart and lungs, as well as the abdomen for bowel sounds. Abnormal sounds in the carotid artery of the neck can be heard on auscultation.
28
Palpation
examining the body using touch and is performed using the fingertips of one or both hands. Palpating a body part can determine things such as size, location, temperature, masses, pulsations, and areas of tenderness. Pulse is measured using palpation.
29
Percussion
tapping the body surfaces and hearing the resulting sounds to determine the presence of air and solid masses affecting internal organs. Percussion is most useful when assessing the condition of the chest and abdomen.
30
mensuration
method of examination uses the process of measuring
31
Supine Position
patient lies flat on their back, facing up. This position is used for examination and treatment of the front surface of the body.
32
Prone Position
patient lies on their abdomen. This position is used for examining the back surface of the body, especially the spine and legs.
33
Lithotomy Position
patient lies on their back with knees bent and feet in stirrups attached to the end of the examining table. This position is used during the examination of the female genitalia.
34
ANA
Antinuclear Antibody
Used for autoimmune disorders, such as lupus
35
BMP
Basic Metabolic Panel
Group of tests used as a screening tool to check for conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease
36
CBC
Complete Blood Count
Screens for a variety of diseases, such as anemia, infection, inflammation, bleeding disorder, or cancer
37
CMP
Comprehensive Metabolic Profile
Group of blood tests that measure blood sugar, electrolyte and fluid balance, and kidney and liver function
38
Lytes
Electrolyte Panel
Detects problems with electrolyte balance (usually sodium and potassium)
39
ESR
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
Detects the presence of inflammation
40
hCG
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
Used to confirm a pregnancy
41
HbA1c
Hemoglobin A1c
Used to test for or monitor a patient's diabetes
42
HDL-C
High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
Indicates a patient's risk of developing heart disease
43
LDL-C
Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
Indicates a patient's risk of developing heart disease
44
LP
Lipid Profile
Group of tests that indicate the patient's risk of cardiovascular disease
45
PSA
Prostate Specific Antigen
Screens men for prostate cancer
46
PT
Prothrombin Time (Pro Time)
Monitors how well anticoagulants (blood-thinning medications) are working to prevent blood clots
47
x-ray
quick, painless test that produces images of the structures inside the body. X-ray beams are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the tissues they pass through. Dense tissues, such as bone, show up as white on x-rays. Fat and muscle appear as shades of gray. Air in the lungs shows up as black.
48
Computerized tomography (CT)
uses special x-ray equipment to produce multiple images of structures that cannot be seen with regular x-rays. The CT machine rotates 360 degrees around the patient to obtain cross-sectional images that are processed by a computer and viewed on a monitor. In some cases, a contrast medium is administered for a better view of internal structures.
49
Magnetic resonance imaging
MRI uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of exceptionally high quality. All body areas can be viewed by MRI, but MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing certain diseases of the brain and spinal cord. In general, MRI creates pictures that can show differences between healthy and unhealthy tissues.
50
Ultrasonography
uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the body's internal structures. It does not use ionizing radiation, has no known harmful effects, and provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don't show up well on x-rays.
Sound waves emitted from a transducer, or probe, pass through the skin, bounce off the body's tissues, and are reflected back to the transducer. The image produced is known as a sonogram or echogram.
