Advanced Biomedical Engineering Systems

 SHIINA Tsuyoshi
Purpose of class
Understand the fundamentals of various sensors, image information processing technology, and medical image diagnostic systems, which are the core technologies in medical biomeasurement.
Course content
Measuring the internal structure and function of complex and varied biological systems is important for elucidating their mechanisms, applying them to engineering, and obtaining information necessary for medical diagnosis and treatment. This lecture will outline the unique characteristics of living organisms as measurement targets, the elemental technologies for obtaining information from various living organisms, including various sensors and information processing technologies for imaging, and the fundamentals of medical imaging diagnostic systems.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the various biological properties, such as physical and chemical characteristics, of living organisms as measurement targets.
  2. Understand the principles of sensors and transducers used for biomeasurement.
  3. Understand the imaging principles and fundamentals of diagnostic applications in medical imaging systems.
