Aims

Biomedical engineering is a pluridisciplinary field that finds its place at the interface between biomedical sciences and engineering sciences leading on to a multitude of applications. Thus, biomedical engineering is not only an important discipline subject to specific teachings in a constantly increasing number of universities, but also a domain quite difficult to apprehend at first glance.

Therefore the main objective of the course is to present to the students whose interests lay in biomedical engineering an introduction to the discipline. In particular, the course should allow the students:
- to understand, through a series of examples, the notions of (bio)instrumentation, (bio)material, artificial organs, medical imaging, clinical engineering, modelling of biological systems, etc.
- to, later on, apply these concepts in order to solve elementary problems in the field of biomedical engineering.

Main themes

Introduction to (bio)-instrumentation, medical imaging, medical computer sciences, biological models, artificial organs, (bio)-materials, rehabilitation engineering, radiophysics, and clinical engineering.
