Development of Biomedical Engineering

The rise of biomedical engineering in the 1950s, it has a very close relationship with medical engineering and biotechnology, and has developed very quickly, becoming one of the main areas of competition in countries around the world.
Like other disciplines, the development of biomedical engineering is determined by scientific, social, and economic factors. The term first appeared in the United States. The International Medical Electronics Federation was established in the United States in 1958, and the organization was renamed the International Medical and Biological Engineering Federation in 1965, and later became the International Biomedical Engineering Society.
In addition to good social benefits, biomedical engineering also has very good economic benefits. The prospect is very broad, and it is one of the high-tech countries competing to develop in the new era. Take 1984 as an example, the market size of biomedical engineering and systems in the United States is about 11 billion US dollars. The American Academy of Sciences estimates that by 2000, its output value is expected to reach 40 to 100 billion US dollars.
Biomedical engineering is based on the development of electronics, microelectronics, modern computer technology, chemistry, polymer chemistry, mechanics, modern physics, optics, radiation technology, precision machinery, and modern high technology. Developed under the conditions. Its development process is closely related to the development of the world's high technology. At the same time, it uses almost all high-tech achievements, such as aerospace technology, microelectronic technology, and so on.

Biomedical Engineering

Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical characteristics of biological tissues and organs using the theory and methods of mechanics, and the relationship between the mechanical characteristics of the body and its functions. The research results of biomechanics are of great significance for understanding the mechanism of human injuries and diseases, and determining the treatment methods, and can provide a basis for the design of artificial organs and tissues.
Biomechanics includes biorheology (hemorheology, soft tissue mechanics, and skeletal mechanics), circulatory system dynamics, and respiratory system dynamics. Biomechanics has made rapid progress in skeletal mechanics.
Biological cybernetics is to study the mechanism of various regulation and control phenomena in the living body, and then control the physiological and pathological phenomena of the organism, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. The method is to quantitatively study the dynamic process of a certain structural level of the organism from a holistic perspective using an integrated method.
Biological effects are researches on the harm and effects that various factors may cause to the body in medical diagnosis and treatment. It is to study the propagation and distribution of light, sound, electromagnetic radiation and nuclear radiation in the body, as well as its biological effects and mechanism of action.
Biomaterials are the material basis for the production of various artificial organs. It must meet the various requirements of various organs for materials, including various physical and mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, toughness, wear resistance, deflection and surface characteristics. Since most of these artificial organs are implanted in the body, they are required to have corrosion resistance, chemical stability, non-toxicity, and compatibility with body tissues or blood. These materials include metals, non-metals, composite materials, polymer materials, etc .; light alloy materials are widely used.
Medical imaging is one of the main methods for clinical diagnosis of diseases, and it is also a key subject for development and research in the world. Medical imaging equipment mainly uses X-ray, ultrasound, radionuclide magnetic resonance, etc. for imaging.
X-ray imaging devices mainly include large X-ray units, X-ray digital subtraction (DSA) devices, electronic computer X-ray tomography (CT) devices; ultrasonic imaging devices include B-type ultrasound inspection, color ultrasound Doppler inspection and other devices; Radionuclide imaging equipment mainly includes gamma camera, single-photon emission computer tomography imaging device and positron emission computer tomography imaging device; magnetic imaging equipment has resonance tomography imaging device; in addition, infrared imaging and emerging impedance imaging technology, etc.
Medical electronic instruments are the main equipment for collecting, analyzing, and processing human physiological signals, such as ECG, EEG, electromyography, and multi-parameter monitors, etc., are being miniaturized and intelligent. Biochemical inspection instruments that understand biochemical processes through body fluids have gradually moved to miniaturization and automation.
The development of therapeutic equipment is slightly worse than diagnostic equipment. Mainly used are X-ray, gamma-ray, radionuclide, ultrasound, microwave and infrared instruments. Large-scale ones such as linear accelerators, X-ray deep treatment machines, extracorporeal lithotripters, artificial respirators, etc., small ones include laser lithotripters, laser acupuncture instruments, and electrical stimulators.
The conventional equipment in the operating room has evolved from simple surgical instruments to high-frequency electric knives, laser knives, respiratory anesthesia machines, monitors, X-ray televisions, and various emergency treatment instruments such as defibrillators.
In order to improve the treatment effect, in modern medical technology, many treatment systems have diagnostic instruments or a treatment device that also contains diagnostic functions, such as an eccentric monitor with a defibrillator that diagnoses cardiac functions and guides selected treatment parameters. The extracorporeal lithotripter is equipped with positioning X-ray and ultrasound imaging devices, and the artificial cardiac pacemaker implanted in the human body has the function of sensing the electrocardiogram, so that it can make adaptive pacing treatment.
Interventional radiology is the fastest-growing field in radiology, that is, when performing interventional treatment, diagnostic x-ray or ultrasound imaging devices and endoscopes are used for diagnosis, guidance and positioning. It solves many problems in diagnosis and treatment, and treats diseases with less damage.
In the new era, one of the high technologies that countries are rushing to develop is medical imaging technology, which mainly includes image processing, impedance imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, three-dimensional imaging technology, and image archiving and communication systems. Biomagnetic imaging is the latest in imaging technology
biomedical engineering
The subject of development is to image the current of human tissue by measuring the magnetic field of the human body.
Biomagnetic imaging currently has two aspects. Magnetic heart imaging (which can be used to observe the electrical activity of myocardial fibers, which can well reflect arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia) and brain magnetic imaging (which is used to diagnose brain activity in epilepsy, senile dementia and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) Invasion, can also locate and quantify the damaged brain area).
Another high-tech that all countries in the world are racing to develop is signal processing and analysis technology, which includes the processing and analysis of signals and graphics such as ECG signals, EEG, nystagmus, speech, and heart sound breathing.

Biomedical Engineering Medical Composites

Biomedical composite materials (biomedical composite materials) are biomedical materials composed of two or more different materials. It is mainly used for the repair and replacement of human tissues and the manufacture of artificial organs [1]. Long-term clinical application has found that traditional medical metal materials and polymer materials are not biologically active, and are not easily combined with tissues. They are affected by the physiological environment in the physiological environment or after implantation in the body. Adverse effects. While bioceramic materials have good chemical stability and compatibility, high strength and abrasion and corrosion resistance, the materials have low flexural strength, large brittleness, and low fatigue and damage strength in physiological environments. Without reinforcement measures, it can only be applied in the case of no load or only pure compressive stress load. Therefore, a single material cannot well meet the requirements of clinical applications. Biomedical composite materials made of materials with different properties not only have the properties of component materials, but also can obtain new properties that single-component materials do not have. It is open for obtaining biomedical materials with structures and properties similar to human tissues. With a broad approach, biomedical composite materials will become the most active field in the research and development of biomedical materials.
1. Selection requirements of biomedical composite materials
Biomedical composite materials are designed according to application requirements and consist of a matrix material and a reinforcing material or a functional material. The properties of the composite material will depend on the nature, content, and interface between the component materials. Commonly used matrix materials are medical polymers, medical carbon materials, bioglass, glass ceramics, calcium phosphate-based or other bioceramics, medical stainless steel, cobalt-based alloys and other medical metal materials; reinforcement materials include carbon fiber, stainless steel, and titanium-based alloys Fiber reinforcements such as fibers, bioglass ceramic fibers, and ceramic fibers, as well as particulate reinforcements such as zirconia, calcium phosphate-based bioceramics, and bioglass ceramics.
The materials implanted in the body are subject to physical, chemical, bioelectrical and other factors for a long time in the complex physiological environment of the human body. At the same time, there are many dynamic interactions between tissues and organs. Therefore, biomedical component materials must meet The following requirements: have good biocompatibility and physical compatibility, to ensure that the material does not appear to damage the biological performance after compounding; have good biological stability, the structure of the material is not due to the effects of body fluids Changes, while the material composition does not cause biological response of the organism; has sufficient strength and toughness, can withstand the mechanical forces of the human body, the materials used are compatible with the elastic modulus, hardness, and wear resistance of the tissue, and the reinforcement material also Must have high stiffness, elastic modulus and impact resistance; Good sterilization performance, to ensure the smooth application of biological materials in clinical. In addition, biomaterials must have good forming and processing properties, and their application is not limited due to the difficulty of forming and processing.
2. Research status and application of biomedical composite materials
Ceramic-based biomedical composites
Ceramic matrix composites are a class of composites obtained by introducing ceramic, glass, or glass-ceramic substrates into reinforcing materials in the form of particles, wafers, whiskers, or fibers in different ways. Although not many varieties of bioceramic-based composite materials have reached the clinical application stage, it has become the most active field in the research of bioceramics, and its research mainly focuses on the research of biomaterials' activity and osteointegration properties and materials enhancement studies.
Al2O3, ZrO3 and other biologically inert materials have been in clinical application research since the early 1970s, but the combination with biological hard tissue is a mechanical lock. Taking high-strength oxide ceramics as the base material and incorporating a small amount of biologically active materials, the materials can be endowed with certain biological activity and osseointegration ability while maintaining the excellent mechanical properties of the oxide ceramics. High-temperature sintering or plasma spraying of bioglass with different expansion coefficients is used to coat the surface of dense Al2O3 ceramic hip implants. After the sample is treated at high temperature, a large amount of Al2O3 enters the glass layer, which effectively enhances The interface between bioglass and Al2O3 ceramic is combined, and the composite material can react in a buffer solution for tens of minutes to form hydroxyapatite. In order to meet the requirements for biological and mechanical properties of surgical operations, people have begun to study bioactive ceramics and the composite research of bioactive ceramics and bioglass to make the materials in terms of porosity, specific surface area, biological activity and mechanical strength. The overall performance is improved. Over the years, research on hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) composites has also increased. 30% HA and 70% TCP are sintered at 1150 , and their average bending strength is 155MPa, which is better than pure HA and TCP ceramics. It is found that the fracture of HA-TCP dense composites is mainly through-granular fracture, and the degree of fracture along the grain It is also larger than pure single-phase ceramic materials. The HA-TCP porous composite material is implanted in animals, and its performance is similar to that of -TCP at first, and then it has the characteristics of HA. By adjusting the ratio of HA to TCP, it can achieve the purpose of meeting different clinical needs. The composite material made of 45SF1 / 4 glass powder and HA was implanted in rabbit bone 8 weeks later, and the shear failure strength between bone and composite material reached 27MPa, which was significantly higher than that of pure HA ceramic.
Biomedical ceramic materials
Biomedical ceramic materials have poor mechanical reliability (especially in the wet physiological environment) due to their structural characteristics. Studies on the bioceramic's activity and its binding properties with bone tissue have failed to resolve the inherent brittleness of the material. . Therefore, the research on the enhancement of bioceramics has become another research focus. The main enhancement methods are particle reinforcement, whisker or fiber reinforcement, phase transformation toughening, and layered composite reinforcement [3, 5-7]. When 10% to 50% of ZrO2 powder is added to HA powder, the material is sintered by hot pressing at 1350 to 1400 ° C, and its strength and toughness increase with the increase of sintering temperature. Adding 50% TZ-2Y composite material, flexural strength It reaches 400MPa and fracture toughness is 2.8 3.0MPam1 / 2. ZrO2 toughened -TCP composite, its bending strength and fracture toughness also increased with increasing ZrO2 content. Nano-SiC-reinforced HA composites have a 1.6-fold increase in flexural strength, a 2-fold increase in fracture toughness, and a 1.4-fold increase in compressive strength over pure HA ceramics, which are comparable to those of biological hard tissues. Whiskers and fibers are an effective toughening and reinforcing material for ceramic matrix composites. The main materials used to reinforce medical composites are: SiC, Si3N4, Al2O3, ZrO2, HA fibers or whiskers, and C fibers. SiC crystals It is necessary to strengthen the bioactive glass-ceramic material, the bending strength of the composite material can reach 460MPa, the fracture toughness can reach 4.3MPam1 / 2, and its Weibull coefficient is high.

Biomedical Engineering Digital Signal Processing

As a branch of signal and information processing, digital signal processing has penetrated into scientific research, technological development,
Fruitful results have been achieved in various fields of industrial production, national defense and the national economy. Analyzing and processing the characteristics of the signal in the time domain and the transform domain can enable us to have a clearer understanding and understanding of the characteristics and nature of the signal, obtain the signal form we need, improve the degree of information utilization, and further expand Get information at a deeper level. The superiority of the digital signal processing system is: 1. Good flexibility: When the processing method and parameters change, the processing system only needs to change the software design to adapt to the corresponding changes. 2. High precision: The signal processing system can meet the precision requirements through the number of bits of A / D conversion, the word length of the processor, and appropriate algorithms. 3. Good reliability: The processing system is less affected by the interference of ambient temperature, humidity, noise and electromagnetic field. 4. Large-scale integration: With the development of semiconductor integrated circuit technology, the integration degree of digital circuits can be made very high, with the advantages of small size, low power consumption, and good product consistency.
However, due to the limitation of computing speed, the real-time performance of digital signal processing systems is far inferior to that of analog signal processing systems for a long time, which makes the application of digital signal processing systems greatly restricted and restricted. Since the birth of DSP (digital signal processing) chips in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this situation has been greatly improved. DSP chip, also called digital signal processor, is a kind of microprocessor especially suitable for digital signal processing operation. The emergence and development of DSP chips have promoted the improvement of digital signal processing technology. Many new systems and algorithms have emerged at the historic moment, and their application fields have been continuously expanded. DSP chips have been widely used in communication, automatic control, aerospace, military, medical and other fields.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the birth of AMI's S2811 chip and Intel's 2902 chip marked the beginning of the DSP chip. With the rapid development of semiconductor integrated circuits, the requirements of high-speed real-time digital signal processing technology and the continuous extension of digital signal processing applications, DSP chips have made epoch-making development in the more than ten years since the early 1980s. From the perspective of operation speed, the MAC (multiplication and accumulation) time has been reduced from 400 ns in the 1980s to less than 40 ns, and the data processing capacity has been improved by dozens of times. MIPS (million instructions per second) has increased from 5MIPS in the early 1980s to more than 40 MIPS. The multiplier of the key components of the DSP chip decreased from about 40% of the die area in the early 1980s to less than 5%, and the on-chip RAM increased by more than an order of magnitude. From the perspective of manufacturing process, the 4m NMOS process was used in the early 1980s and now the sub-micron CMOS process is used. The number of pins of DSP chips increased from a maximum of 64 to more than 200 in the early 1980s. Increased application flexibility makes it easier to expand external memory and communicate between processors. Compared with earlier DSP chips, DSP chips have two data formats: floating-point and fixed-point. Floating-point DSP chips can perform floating-point operations, which greatly improves the accuracy of operations. The cost, volume, operating voltage, weight, and power consumption of DSP chips have been greatly reduced compared to earlier DSP chips. In terms of DSP development systems, software and hardware development tools are constantly being improved. Some chips have corresponding integrated development environments, which support the setting of breakpoints and access to program memory, data memory and DMA, and single-part running and tracking of programs, etc., and can be programmed in high-level languages. Some manufacturers and software developers For the development of DSP application software, a universal function library, various algorithm subroutines and various interface programs are prepared, which makes the application software development more convenient and the development time is greatly shortened, thereby improving the efficiency of product development.
