Bioelectronics


Medical Engineering applies electrical engineering techniques to human bodies. For instance, machine learning is used in Medical Engineering for medical image generation, analysis, and diagnosis. Medical information and bio-signals are trained and obtained from the artificial intelligence. Electronic circuits are also used for the local amplification and multiplexed reading of signal measurement. Bio-implantable devices are also important topics of Medical Engineering. Devising bio-implantable devices requires a careful selection of materials that can support high-performance operations with great lifetime reliability.

Medical Imaging


Optical imaging and sensing techniques help identify, visualize, and quantify molecular processes in biomedical applications. Examples are electrical property imaging, metal artifact correction, view-angle tilting techniques. Multi-modal medical imaging approaches are used to overcome the current limitations of imaging systems, e.g., MRI, CT, etc. The real-time imaging capability of ultrasound machines has been incorporated into MRI systems to handle motion corruption. Multi-echo-based acquisition and processing enabled the construction of ultra-high-resolution brain images, etc.
