Sensors in medical instrumentation
Summary
Fundamental principles and methods used for physiological signal conditioning. Resistive, capacitive, inductive, piezoelectric and optical techniques used to detect and convert physiological information's to electrical signals. Laboratory and ambulatory devices for monitoring and therapy.
Content
1. Physiological Mesurands
Biopotentials; bioimpedance; mechanical, acoustic and thermal signals
2. Noise in medical instrumentation
Source and nature of the noise; noise reduction; instrumentation amplifier
for biopotential measurement
3. Biopotential measurement
Electrodes; ECG, EMG and EEG measurement
4. Resistive sensors
Thermistor and its biomedical applications; strain gage for the
measurement of blood pressure; force and accelerations of the body
5. Inductive sensors
Simple and mutual inductance and its medical applications
6. Capacitive sensors
Respiratory flow measurement by the gradient of pressure
7. Piezoelectric sensors
Force platform, accelerometer, angular rate sensor for the measurement
of tremors and body movements, ultrasound transducer : measurement of
pressure and flow rate
8. Optical sensors
Photoplethysmography; pulsed oxymetry
9. Example of applications
