MT327 MEDICAL ELECTRONICS (DEPT ELECTIVE- I) Course Description & Objectives:

This course is tailored to the needs of both Engineers and Medicos. It seeks to encourage dialogue between both disciplines to enable Medicos and Engineers to apprecia te more fu lly the applications, requirements, specifications, and limitations of medical electronic instrumentation. This is particularly important when multi-disciplinary teams liaise to specify, design and evaluate new medical technologies. Course Outcomes: 1. analyze and evaluate the effect of different diagnostic and therapeutic methods, their risk potential, physical principles, opportunities and possibilities for different medical procedures. 2. to have a basic understanding of medical terminology, relevant for biomedical instrumentation. 3. to understand and describe the physical and medical principles used as a basis for biomedical instrumentation. 4. understand the elements of risk for different instrumentation methods and basic electrical safety. 5. understand the position of biomedical instrumentation in modern hospital care. UNIT-I: Anatomy and physiology: Elementary ideas of cell structure, Heart and circulatory system, Centra
