Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation

Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation is a specialized field within biomedical engineering focused on the design and application of technologies to visualize the human body and measure physiological signals. The imaging component involves developing systems like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and ultrasound, which provide non-invasive views of internal organs and tissues for diagnosis and treatment guidance. Concurrently, the instrumentation aspect covers the creation of devices—from electrocardiogram (ECG) machines and blood glucose monitors to sophisticated surgical robots and life-support systems—that acquire, process, and display biological data or deliver therapeutic interventions, ultimately providing the critical tools for modern medical practice and research.
