0.Basics -- 1.THE STETHOSCOPE -- 2.THE THERMOMETER -- 3.THE PULSE OXIMETER -- 4.THE SPHYGMOMANOMETER -- 5.X-RAY IMAGING -- 6.COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) or CAT SCAN -- 7.MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) -- 8.POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET SCAN) -- 9.ULTRASOUND SCAN -- 10.GLUCOMETER.

This book provides an accessible and comprehensive exploration of the principles and mechanisms behind widely used medical diagnostic tools. Written in clear, simple language, it offers a deep understanding of these instruments, their functionality, and the underlying science, making it ideal for a broad audience, including medical professionals, educators, and curious readers. The book begins with foundational concepts such as electromagnetic radiation, analog and digital signals, and binary systems, before diving into detailed discussions of key diagnostic tools like the stethoscope, thermometer, and pulse oximeter. Advanced imaging technologies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and PET scans are thoroughly explained, along with non-invasive tools like ultrasound scanners and glucometers. Each chapter emphasizes the real-world applications and significance of these devices, with simple explanations supported by illustrative examples and figures. Designed for mixed readership, this book provides insights into the science behind diagnostic tools while also fostering a deeper appreciation for their practical impact on healthcare.
