Biomedical Engineering (BME) is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from the life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering. It involves the application of engineering techniques to address challenges in biology and medicine. The scope of BME is broad, encompassing the development of artificial organs and prosthetics, implantable medical devices, tissue engineering, biomedical instrumentation, computational tools for medical research and diagnosis, signal and image processing, clinical and rehabilitation engineering, as well as cardiovascular, neurological, and respiratory engineering. The diagnostic and therapeutic technologies available to physicians in the 21st century are sophisticated outcomes of these complex engineering applications.
