APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sphygmomanometer: Medical device for measuring arterial BP compromised of a cuff, an inflation bulb with release valve and a manometer (typically either a mercury column or an aneroid dial).

Detailed explanation-2: -sphygmomanometer, instrument for measuring blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the upper arm and is connected to an apparatus that records pressure, usually in terms of the height of a column of mercury or on a dial (an aneroid manometer).

Detailed explanation-3: -In clinical practice, blood pressure is usually measured indirectly. The two most common methods of indirect blood pressure measurement are Doppler ultrasound using a sphygmomanome-ter and oscillometry. Both techniques use an inflatable cuff placed around an extremity.
