Biomedical engineering achievements range from early
devices, such as crutches, platform shoes, and wooden teeth
to more modern equipment, including pacemakers, heart-
lung machine, dialysis machines, diagnostic equipment,
imaging technologies of every kind, and artificial organs,
medical implants and advanced prosthetics.

ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCTION
TECHNOLOGY
During and after World War II, there was explosive growth in
the number of antibiotics being discovered and found useful to
treat various conditions. However, it was the development of
engineering technologies to mass produce those antibiotics that
allowed them to come into general use.

INTRAOCULAR LENS/CONTACT
LENS
The plastic intraocular lens (IOL) has helped restore full vision to
those whose sight had grown cloudy due to cataracts (the leading
cause of blindness worldwide) or other diseases. Collaboration
among biomaterials engineers, mechanical engineers, optical
engineers and surgeons has led to a variety of IOLs to fit different
patient needs.

COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY
(CT)
The integration of computer and X-ray imaging technologies
was a landmark engineering feat, allowing radiologists to
achieve great breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of
certain diseases. CT technology provided an unprecedented
cross-sectional picture of the body. In cancer for example,
CT is used to detect a tumor, provide information about the
extent of the disease, help plan treatment, and determine
whether the cancer is responding to treatment.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
(MRI)
MRI imaging employs radio frequency waves and a strong
magnetic field to produce remarkably clear and detailed
pictures of internal organs and tissues. Through a combination
of engineering technology and clinical know-how, it provides
physicians with exceptional resolution for cross-sectional
images of the body. It has facilitated many breakthroughs in
neuroscience, cancer treatment and orthopedic surgery.

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY
(PET)
The PET Scan is the latest engineering breakthrough in
imaging technology and an important supplement to CT
Scanning and MRI. PET technology allows doctors to
observe cellular-level metabolic changes with powerful
cross-section images of the body. PET Scans are now used to
detect some cancers, coronary heart disease and brain
disorders .

GENOMIC SEQUENCING & MICRO-
ARRAYS
While the Human Genome Project has dominated the
headlines in recent years, it would not have been possible
without engineering achievements in DNA sequencing and
micro-arrays. These tools have allowed researchers to
identify the genes within human DNA. In time, this is
expected to lead to fundamental breakthroughs in the
practice of medicine .
