Scope of Bio-Medical Engineering

 Scope of Bio-Medical Engineering

      Straddling the life sciences, the physical sciences and engineering, Nature Biomedical Engineering covers materials, therapies, devices, technology, systems, methods and processes that facilitate the understanding of human disease, or its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, alleviation or monitoring.

    The journal disseminates biological, medical and engineering advances-of fundamental, mechanistic, methodological, technological, therapeutic, translational or clinical that can directly lead to or inspire improvements in human health or healthcare. The emphasis is on advances that draw on both the biomedical sciences and the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics or informatics.

   The scope hence excludes advances that improve the understanding of human biology or disease but whose relevance for health or healthcare is judged to be insufficient, as well as advances that do not make use of principles or tools from the physical sciences or engineering.




Is biomedical engineering have good scope?

  Jobs for biomedical Engineering consists of subfields like tissue, cellular and genetic engineering, computational biology, biomaterials, bio-nanotechnology, medical imaging and biomedical electronics, among many others. This makes an immense job for biomedical engineers.

Does biomedical engineering have scope in future?

   Professionals in this field are in-demand and can garner good job opportunities salary packages. If this field of engineering interests you, read this to know all about biomedical engineering, its scope, job opportunities and salary packages.

What is the best job for biomedical engineering?

   Software and hardware engineering.
    Medical device industry.
    Innovation design and development.
    Research and development.
    Manufacturing.
    Equipment testing and field servicing.
    Clinical patient evaluation.
    Technical documentation.
    Sales.
    Hospital equipment selection and support.
    Teaching.
    Management.
    U.G preparation for medicine, dentistry.

Jobs for biomedical engineering majors

  Approximately half of our biomedical engineering majors go to graduate, medical, dental  after graduation. Others go straight into the workforce. Some recent employers of our biomedical engineering majors are:

     Baxter Health Care
     Boston scientific corp
     De puy
     Epic systems corporation
     GE Healthcare
     Medtronic Inc
     Mortara Instruments
     Siemens Medical systems
     Stryker VA Hospitals
     Zimmer
     Zoll

Every technological innovation is a useful tool for human progress. A bio medical engineering enables doctors to design devices that can help millions of people around globe. Meanwhile, a doctor can only offer help and treatment to a single patient at a time. Job diversity is very high. As a result, you get to work on new problems, diverse teams and locations; and roles change as your career progresses. Innovation and Impact are highlights of a career as Biomedical engineers.

   Additionally, a corporate career has advantages of medical insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, and a retirement plan, further advancing the scope for biomedical engineering.

Short wave diathermy

       The diathermy means, 'through heating' or producing deep heating directly in the tissues of the body.          Externally applied sources of heat like hot towels, infrared lamps and electric heating pads often produce discomfort and skin burns long before adequate heat has penetrated to the deeper tissues.          But with the diathermy technique, the subject's body becomes a part of the electrical circuit and the heat is produced within the body and not transferred through the skin.          The heating of the tissues is carried out by high frequency alternating current which generally has a frequency of 27.12 MHz and wavelength of 11m. The short wave diathermy machine consists of 2 main circuits.                       * Oscillating circuit - which produces a high frequency current.                       * Patient circuit - which is connected to the oscillating circuit.   There are several ways of regulating intensity of current supplied to the patient from a short

    ELECTROCARDIOGRAM       An electrocardiogram  records the electrical signals in the heart .  It's a common and painless test used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor the heart's health.      Electrical signals from the heart characteristically precede the normal mechanical function and monitoring of these signals has great clinical significance.     ECG provides valuable information about wide range of cardiac disorders such as the presence of an inactive part(infarction) or an enlargement (cardiac hypertrophy) of the heart muscle.

Anatomy of heart

-
Image
    The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. The heart has four chambers: the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles. The atria are the upper chambers of the heart, and the ventricles are the lower chambers. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, and the left side of the heart pumps blood to the rest of the body. The heart is made up of three layers: the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer. The outer layer is called the epicardium. The middle layer is called the myocardium. The inner layer is called the endocardium. The heart has four valves: the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the aortic valve, and the mitral valve. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the
