Advances in biomedical engineering

Over the thirty years, as the discipline of biomedical engineering has evolved at the Bialystok University of Technology, it has become clear that it is a youthful and developing interdisciplinary field. Biomedical engineers provide innovative technological solutions for the medical industry by designing prosthetic limbs and artificial organs, the material that is used to manufacture them, and the software that's used for medical equipment.
Although it is not possible to cover all of the biomedical engineering domains in this book, we have made an effort to focus on most of the major fields of activity in which scientists at Bialystok University Technology are engaged. The chapters throughout the book feature current research and developments in, for example, biomechanics, mechanobiology, design of medical structures, technical rehabilitation measures, modern engineering materials and their production, biomedical signal processing, acquisition and exploration of information from medical databases, and medical 3D printing.
This book is dedicated to students of biomedical engineering and high school students interested in studying the interdisciplinary course of Biomedical Engineering. Our aim is to help young people understand the nature of biomedical engineering, which links engineering techniques with biological sciences and medicine to improve the quality of human health and well-being.
