Biomedical engineering in cardiology

Medical Progress Through Technology

|January 1, 1982

Abstract:

There are numerous and quite controversial opinions on what should be covered by the term 'biomedical engineering'. Therefore, it seems necessary to define and reflect on what biomedical engineering really means. Our definition is: biomedical engineering is the application of engineering sciences in clinical medicine. Several examples of 10 years of cooperation between engineers and physicians in Aachen are presented under the confines of the above definition.
