Medical Engineering
Department of Medical Engineering typically focuses on the interdisciplinary application of engineering principles and techniques to the field of medicine and healthcare. This field combines aspects of engineering, biology, and medicine to develop innovative solutions for medical challenges.
Biomedical Instrumentation: This area involves the design and development of medical devices and instruments used for monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. Examples include patient monitoring systems, imaging devices, and diagnostic equipment.
Biomechanics: Biomechanics applies principles of mechanics to study the mechanical aspects of living organisms. In the context of medical engineering, this can include the analysis of movement, musculoskeletal systems, and the design of prosthetics and orthopedic devices.
Medical Imaging: This area focuses on the development and improvement of medical imaging technologies, such as X-ray, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Students may study image acquisition, processing, and interpretation.
