Electroencephalography	It is a non invasive method of recording of electrical activity of brain.	Central nerve system.	Confirm epilepsy. Determine type of seizures. Assist in choose antiepileptic medication.	EEG
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis	Analysing the cerebrospinal fluid to detect problems in brain and spinal cord.	Central nerve system.	Detect bacterial meningitis. Detect brain and spinal cord damage. Detect signs of tumor,injury,inflammation etc.	CSF analysis.
Electromyography	It is a method of recording of electrical activity of muscle tissue by electrodes attach o the skin or inserted into the muscle.	Musculoskeletal system.	Detect pheripheral nerve and muscle problems like neuropathies,radiculopathies and muscle disorders.	EMG
Antinuclear antibody test	It is used to identify the autoimmune disorders that affect many tissues and organs in the body.	Circulatory system.	Detect (SLE 9systemic lupus erythamatosus ). Detect rheumatoid arthritis.	ANA test.
Diskography	It is a diagnostic procedure used to identify if one or more discs are the cause of back pain.	Musculoskeletal system.	Detect disk problems (pain) which is fail to confirm by other tests. Detect lateral disk herniation. Detect degenerative changes in disk.	Diskography.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate	It is a rate in which red blood cells sedimented in a period of one hour.	Circulatory system.	Help to diagnose Multiple myeloma. Systemic lupus erythematosis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Chronic kidney disease.	ESR
Curettage	In this using a curette to remove tissues by scraping or scooping.	Reproductive system.	Used to control abnormal uterine bleeding. Used to remove excess uterine lining in polycystic ovarian syndrome. Used in remove tissues in the case of miscarriage.	D and C (Dilatation and curettage)
Cryosurgery	In this using an extreme temperature to kill abnormal or diseased tissue.	Integumentary system.	Used for patient with skin tags,wart,small skin cancers, Used in the treatment of hemorrhoids,plantar fascitis.	Cryoablation
Ophthalmoscopy	It is the visual examination of eye	Sensory system.	Used to detect problems of optic disc,retinal vascular diseases. Used to identify eye diseases like glaucoma.	SLO (scanning laser ophthalmoscopy). Fundoscopy.
Flurescein angiography	It is a method of examination of circulation of retina and choroid by a specialized camera and flurescent dye.	Sensory system.	Used to diagnose macular degeneration. Help to detect diabeic retinopathy.	FA (Flurescein angiography). FFA (Fundus flurescein angiography). IVFA(Intravenous flurescein angiography)
Otoscopy	It is a auditary examination with the help of a otoscope.	Sensory system.	Detect diseases in the middle ear space.(ottitis media,externa. Detect foreign bodies,cerumen in the ear To diagnose ear canal edema.	Auriscopy
