employs a magnetic field and radio waves to portray subtle structural differences
inspection
general and local inspection of the body.
largest amount of information can be gained
palpation
used of hands/fingers to feel the body.
sense temperature, underlying structures, sensitive spots
normal understanding of anatomy is essential
percussion
tapping on the body to determine the density of underlying tissues
auscultation
listening to body sounds, usually with a stethoscope
