Medical technology

-

       Medical technology is the use of both medical and engineering methods to improve healthcare. Medical technology can be broadly categorized into two types:

1) Medical devices, which are tools that help with diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of health problems

2) Medical procedures, which are operations performed by a doctor or other qualified medical professional.




         Medical technology has advanced over the years and has become an integral part of our lives. Doctors are now able to diagnose patients with a high degree of accuracy, and medical students are able to learn about the human body in ways that were not possible before.

       Medical technology is not just confined to hospitals, though. There are many different types of medical technologies that can help people live healthier lives. For example, there is a wearable device called Cardio that monitors heart rate and blood pressure for people who want to keep track of their health. Another product called Sensoria can help athletes monitor their performance by measuring how much oxygen they're getting from their muscles.

        Medical technology is the use of technology in healthcare. It encompasses a wide range of products, including medical devices, imaging systems, software, and equipment.

       Medical technology has changed the way we live. It has helped us to understand what is happening in our bodies and how to manage diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

       In the next few years, we will see a new wave of medical technology that will be able to help diagnose a range of conditions more accurately than ever before.

      The future of medical technology is bright.

      Medical technology has a broad range of applications, from prevention to diagnosis. It can also be used for treatment.

      Medical technology can be used to detect diseases and conditions before they become symptomatic. This is done by taking measurements and samples from the body, and then analyzing them with laboratory equipment.

        The use of medical technology in diagnosis has increased dramatically in the past few years, with new technologies being developed all the time. These include:

              * MRI scanners 

              * CT scanners 

              * Ultrasound scanners 

              * PET scans 

              * X-rays

        Medical technology is the use of technological devices and procedures to diagnose, monitor, prevent and treat illness.

        Medical technology is a broad term and can include anything from diagnostic imaging equipment to surgical robots.

       The medical device industry is worth over $200 billion annually, with over 100,000 devices in use worldwide.

        With the help of medical technology, we can now diagnose and treat diseases with more accuracy.

         Medical technology is a field that has seen a lot of innovation in the recent years. The development of these technologies has helped in diagnosis and treatment of diseases which have made it possible to save many lives.

         Medical technology is a broad term that encompasses a number of different fields and specialties. Medical technology can be used to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate and prevent disease.

          Medical technologies may include diagnostics (such as MRI), therapeutic devices (such as an artificial heart), surgical instruments, implants, and medical software.

          Medical technology is a branch of technology that deals with the application of engineering and scientific principles for healthcare purposes. It includes medical devices, diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, surgical procedures and other interventions.

         

         Medical devices are instruments that can be used to diagnose or treat an illness or injury. They can include items such as stethoscopes, tongue depressors, splints, bandages and syringes. They are often used in conjunction with other equipment such as thermometers or blood pressure monitors. Diagnostic tools may include x-ray machines and MRI scanners. Therapeutic agents include drugs and vaccines. Surgical procedures may include appendectomies and hernia repairs while other interventions might include chemotherapy or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

Short wave diathermy

-
Image
       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.              ...

Electrocardiogram

    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.

History of Artificial limb

  Artificial limb (c. 550 B.C.E)         The earliest written reference to an artificial limb occurs in an epic Indian poem"Rig-Veda", which was compiled between 35000 and 1800 B.C.E written in Sanskrit the poem includes a description of the amputation of the warrior Queen vishpla's leg during battle. Later fitted with an iron prosthesis by the Ashvins (celestial physicians),she returned to combat.        Most authorities doubt the story of Queen Vishpla, and turn to the Histories of Herodotus for the first plausible reference to a prosthetic limb. Herodotus describes how, in the mid sixth century B.C.E.,Hegesistratus of Eli's, a Persian soldier and seer imprisoned by the Spartans, was sentenced to death, and cut off part of his foot to escape from the stocks. Hegesistratus fashioned a wooden prosthesis to help walk the 30 miles (48 km) to Tregea, but unfortunately was captured by Zaccynthius and beheaded.          ...
