    Introduction to Biomedical

    Engineering
    What is Biomedical Engineering ?
    It is application of engineering principles and
    design concepts to biology and medicine to
    improve the health of society.

    It is defined as the application of knowledge
    gained by cross fertilization of engineering and
    biological sciences so that both will be more
    fully utilized for the benefit of man.
    What is Biomedical Instrumentation ?
    Tools provided to measure different
    physiological variables (biological variables) of
    a living being is called biomedical
    instrumentation.
    History behind biomedical engineering
    First biomedical equipment used in 19
    th

    century was X-Ray machine which was
    invented in 1895.
    Later development included ECG,
    STETHESCOPE, BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORS,
    MRI, ULTRA SOUND SCANNING.
    Main reason behind invention of
    biomedical equipment
    NASA
    Need for biomedical engineering
    Need of biomedical engineering
    Promising future development
    Improves medicine, save lives
    Numerous possibilities based on level of
    biology and engineering specialty
    There is a vital advantage over many fields
    is aimed at keeping people healthy.
    Need for instrumentation
    The need for instrumentation to make proper
    and accurate measurements.
    This involves the design, use and maintenance
    of biomedical instrumentation come from
    either life science or from engineering
    All measurements depend essentially on the
    detection, acquisition, display.

    Biomedical Instrumentation
    It is the application of electronics and
    measurement techniques to develop the
    devices used in diagnosis and treatment of
    disease.

    Biomaterials
    Use of material both living and artificial
    materials for implantation.
    System physiology and modeling
    Modeling refers to use of scientific and
    engineering principles predict the behavior of
    a system of interest may include human body,
    particularly body organs.
    Bio signal processing
    Involves collection and analysis of data from
    patients and experiments in an effort to
    understand and identify individual
    components of the data set or signal.
    Medical imaging
    It combines the knowledge of a unique
    physical phenomenon with high speed
    electronic data processing analysis and display
    to generate an image.
    Biomechanics and Rehabilitation
    Biomechanics applies both fluid mechanics
    and transport phenomena to biological and
    medical issues.

    Rehabilitation enhances the capabilities and
    improve the quantity of life for individuals
    with physical cognitive impairments.
    Branches of Biomedical
    Instrumentation
    Clinical Instrumentation
    Research Instrumentation
    Clinical Instrumentation
    Clinical instrumentation is basically devoted to
    diagnosis, care and treatment of patients.
    Its very simple to use if there is sufficient
    knowledge.

    Research Instrumentation
    This instrumentation is primarily based on
    developing new knowledge pertaining to the
    various systems that compose the human
    organism.
    Types of measurements in Biomedical
    Instrumentation
    In vivo
    A in vivo measurement is one that is made on
    or within the living organism itself.
    In vitro
    A in vitro measurement is one performed
    outside the body even though it relates to
    function of the body.
    Man Instrumentation system
    The overall system which includes both the
    human organism and the instrumentation
    required for the measurement of man is called
    as man-instrument system.
    Objectives of man-instrument system
    Information gathering
    Diagnosis
    Evaluation
    Monitoring
