The main goal of this subject is to provide a practical vision of the activities related to the Biomedical Engineering area in healthcare environment. In particular this subject focuses on the procedures and technology applied to diagnosis.

In order to develop the contents of the subject, visits to hospital environments will be carried out. Due to the limitations of access to these environments for reasons of prevention, safety and operability of the clinical service visited, a maximum group of 12 students will be defined for the teaching modalities associated with these visits.

Diagnostic-oriented technology

Topic 1.- Technology present in primary care centers (ultrasound scanners, ECG, blood pressure monitors...)

Topic 2.- Using in vivo imaging (RX, NMR, isotopes¿ endoscopes and micro-cameras¿)

Topic 3.- Using ex vivo imaging (autopsies, biopsies, molecule marking, genetic analysis...)

Topic 4.- Electrical signal processing (EEG, evoked potentials, EMG. ENG¿) or magnetic (EMEG¿)

Topic 5.- Functional tests I (respiratory, cardiac, digestive, urinary¿.)

Topic 6.- Functional tests II (endocrine, immunological...)

Topic 7.- Functional tests III (autonomic nervous system¿)

Topic 8.- Functional tests IV (locomotor system...)

Topic 9.- Ophthalmological Examination, ENT, Derma

Topic 10.- Pre- and perinatal monitoring
