A medical procedure is defined as non invasive when no break in the skin is created and there is no contact with the mucosa or skin break or internal body cavity beyond a natural or artificial body orifice For example deep palpation and percussion are non invasive but a rectal examination is invasive Likewise examination of the ear drum or inside the nose or a wound dressing change all fall outside the definition of non invasive procedure There are many non invasive procedures ranging from simple observation to specialised forms of surgery such as radiosurgery medical citation needed Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a non invasive treatment of stones in the kidney 1 gallbladder or liver using an acoustic pulse For centuries physicians have employed many simple non invasive methods based on physical parameters in order to assess body function in health and disease physical examination and inspection such as pulse taking the auscultation of heart sounds and lung sounds using the stethoscope temperature examination using thermometers respiratory examination peripheral vascular examination oral examination abdominal examination external percussion and palpation blood pressure measurement using the sphygmomanometer change in body volumes using plethysmograph audiometry eye examination and many others Electronic blood pressure monitor Contents 1 Diagnostic images 2 Diagnostic signals 3 Therapy 4 See also 5 ReferencesDiagnostic images editBioluminescence imaging Dermatoscopy Diffuse optical tomography Gamma camera Computed tomography Infrared imaging of the body Magnetic resonance elastography Magnetic resonance imaging Magnetic resonance spectroscopy Optical coherence tomography Posturography Radiography fluoroscopy Ultrasonography and echocardiographyDiagnostic signals editElectrocardiography Electroencephalography Electromyography Photoplethysmograph Electrical impedance tomography Electroneuronography Electroretinography Electronystagmography Magnetoencephalography Evoked potentials Impedance phlebography Nuclear magnetic resonanceTherapy editEpidermal radioisotope therapy Radiation therapy Brachytherapy Lithotripsy Defibrillation Biofeedback Oxygen therapy Non invasive ventilation VPAP BIPAP Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist Biphasic cuirass ventilation Therapeutic ultrasound NeuromonicsSee also editMinimally invasive proceduresReferences edit Setthawong V Srisubat A Potisat S Lojanapiwat B Pattanittum P August 2023 Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ESWL versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy PCNL or retrograde intrarenal surgery RIRS for kidney stones The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2023 8 CD007044 doi 10 1002 14651858 CD007044 pub4 PMC 10392035 PMID 37526261 Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Non invasive procedure amp oldid 1202553029, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
