Biomedical Engineering

Program Summary

Medical equipment engineering is a field of study of biomedical engineering and technological concepts, aimed at developing the equipment and devices needed to provide health care, as it integrates physical, chemical, computational, mathematics, and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, health, And organ transplantation, which aims to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases, in order to rehabilitate the patient and improve his health. The specialty of medical engineering comes at the forefront of the medical revolution, and its progress is achieved through multidisciplinary activities that integrate other sciences with it. Geometry.

Medical engineers have developed many techniques that help to facilitate all areas of life, and contribute to saving and preserving life, including:

Prosthetics, such as: prosthetic alternatives to human limbs, and dentures.

Surgical devices and systems, such as: laser and robotic surgery. Systems for monitoring vital signs and blood chemistry.

Implanted devices in the body, such as: insulin pumps, pacemakers, and artificial organs.

Imaging, such as: ultrasound, x-rays, and magnetic resonance.

Therapeutic equipment and devices, such as: dialysis machines and electrical stimulation of the transdermal nerve (abbreviation: TENS). Radiotherapy using X-rays.

Physiotherapy equipment.
