  1. BME BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING The career of the future

  2. What is BME • New career discipline • Merges skills of Engineering with Medical skills • Create Technologies that improve overall lifestyle and health • Unique in the sense that it applies more than one field

  3. Applications • Biomedical Engineering can split into different paths in order to apply to different tasks. • Imaging Technologies • Biomaterials • Biomechanics • Cellular Engineering • Neuroengineering

  4. IMAGING • One of the main components of BME • Imaging systems help diagnose and prevent such things as Cancer, Fractures, Parkinson’s Disease and more. • INCLUDE: • MRI • PET scans • X-rays • CT scans

  5. THE JARVIK • AKA The artificial Heart • Artificial Heart Valve- replace damaged heart valves and restore the flow of blood into a smooth rate • The Jarvik 7- the current Artificial Heart used • Prevents further Heart damage • Replaces biological heart by actually pumping blood throughout the body

  6. Artificial Organs and Technologies • Other advancements include: • Artificial Lung • Artificial Eye • Cochlear Implant • Artificial blood vessels • Artificial Limbs • Brain Pacemakers • Android and I-phone heart beat/rate APPS.

  7. So, How will it benefit society? • BME, gives hope into becoming a futuristic society • Medical advancements depend on advancements on Medical Technology • Technologies created and innovated by BME help diagnose and prevent certain phenomena
