Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering (BME) is the application of engineering
sciences to medicine and biology.
It applies engineering principles and design concepts to medicine
and biology for healthcare purposes.
This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine.
It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering
with medical and biological sciences to advance health care
treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.
Prominent biomedical engineering applications include the
development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and
therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to
micro-implants, common imaging equipment such as MRIs and
EEGs, regenerative tissue growth, pharmaceutical drugs and
therapeutic biology.

Fields of Biomedical Engineering
BME is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that ranges from theoretical, non-
experimental understanding to state-of-the-art applications. It can encompass
research, development, implementation and operation. The field of BME now
includes many new areas, some are presented below.
Application of engineering system analysis to biologic problems (Physiological
modeling)
Detection, measurement and monitoring of physiological signals (Biomedical
instrumentation)
Computer analysis of data and diagnosis (Medical informatics)
Therapeutic and rehabilitation procedures and devices (Rehabilitation
engineering)
Implantation and replacement of devices for bodily functions (Artificial organs)
Construction and processing of images (Biomedical imaging)
Creation of new biologic products (Biotechnology and Tissue engineering)
Creation of body-adopted materials (Bio-materials)
and so on
Fields of BME
Bio-Signal
Signal produced by each organ (even in cellular level) to show its
activity. Two types:
Electrical: collected by electrodes
Non-electrical: converted by Transducer
Electrical voltage
Ionic potential due to electrochemical activity of cells
Ionic potential electrode electric voltage
