Biomedical engineering refers to the science, which relates to the engineering sciences (mechanical, computer, electrical and electronic) as well as the Biomedical Sciences. Moreover, it encompasses physiological sciences where advanced engineering and theories help in handling, analysis as well as solving biomedical problems (Chatterjee & Miller 3). In addition, the application the design tools and other suitable devices to assess the physiological systems plays a significant role in understanding and developing devices with the capability of treating and dealing with diseases, which needs the study to understand the working, modeling, and maintenance of such devices.
In addition, Biomedical Engineering avails creativity, progress, and invention in the medical fields on the size and nature of the physiological systems that handles the field of engineering while considering the sophisticated as well as advanced technologies. Biomedical engineering is the art of engineering science that resulted from the introduction of modern medical science (Chatterjee & Miller 5). After that, the doctor was alone doing all the tasks diagnosis, treatment, and possibly medication. Additionally, manufacturing the medical devices is crucial to a particular doctor in the processes of diagnosing, treatment, as well as monitoring of the patients.
On the other hand, biomedical instrumentation system refers to a set of diagnostic, control, as well as monitoring devices used by medical practitioners to administer health care services. This equipment comprises of laboratory tools, surgical devices, and physician's office equipment (Chatterjee & Miller 568). Biomedical instrumentation system has its main four components. These include:
Sensor and Principles: these comprise of the biomedical electrodes used in detecting biochemical and bioelectrical parameters (Chatterjee & Miller 170).
Electronic interface: this provides the secure interface with the sensors and computational units.
Computation unit: it provides the primary user interface as well as major coordination of the entire biomedical instrumentation system. In addition, it ensures a secure operational environment for the whole system.
Biomedical systems: the instrumentation system comprises of five different sub-instrumentation system, which comprises of direct/ indirect, invasive/ noninvasive, and sense/ Actuate systems.
