Course title and code: Biomedical Electronic-6; 414 BMT

This course is about Medical electronic instruments, the course content was upgraded during 4 semesters new instruments where introduced and mainly the course take its contents from John Webester famous book and also power point presentation for chapters are interactive. During this course students are exposed to different medical instruments, starting by defibrillators/cardioverters were design and calculation of defibrillator system and components including the capacitor value for certain condition. The second chapter is about cardiac arrhythmias, and different type of pacemakers and electrodes used for heart pacing. The third chapter deals with electro-surgery and ablation a detailed description of the electronic system is presented. Block diagram are analyzed. Laser in medical instruments is introduced, Cardiac output current methods are tackled. EEG, EMG and ENG method for signal acquisition and analysis are presented, MRI for 3D image reconstruction is also presented in digital aspect. A project exposing students for new research in the field has been implemented. Every group of 2 or 3 students choose one papers related to the course topics using open access  sources available in the internet (like BiomedCentral, KSU library digital databases and SDL)  The research papers project introduced has proven to be very useful. It introduce student to research problem. It exposed the students to new research problem and instruments. Most of the students have benefited from this experience.
