Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and techniques to medical field. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to help improve the patient health care and the quality of life of individuals. As a new discipline, much of work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, covering an array of field: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, systems analysis and 3D modelling. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipment.
