OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH Advances in Biomedical Engineering

چکیده
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING IS broadly defined as the application of engineering principles to problems in clinical medicine and surgery. The origins of biomedical engineering are often linked to the pioneering electrophysiology studies of Galvani and Volta more than 200 years ago. During the first half of the 20th century, the electrical properties of tissues and cells continued to be a primary focus of biomedical engineering. Emerging interests in the health effects of ionizing radiation between World Wars I and II laid the groundwork for current radiation therapy. It was not until the 1960s and 1970s, however, that an explosion in multidisciplinary research, combining mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering with physiology and medicine paved the way for dramatic advances in modern health care based on breakthrough discoveries in biomedical engineering.
