This course presents a number of topics in biomedical engineering, as related to electrical engineering. The course is divided into 3 modules; in any given year, two of the three modules will be covered. The Bioinstrumentation and Biosensors module covers: basic concepts of biopotential generation; biosignal detection using metal electrodes; electrocardiogram; amplifiers and filter design for biosignal recording; and design considerations. The Bioinformatics module covers: microarray data analysis methods; pattern discovery, clustering and classification methods; applications to prediction of clinical outcome and treatment response; coding region detection and protein family prediction. The Medical Imaging module covers: 2D and 3D image formation; fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging; spatial and frequency-domain filtering and feature extraction; applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and interventions.
