Abstract In the field of biomedical imaging, Ultrasound is an incontestable vital tool for diagnosis, it provides in non-invasive manner the internal structure of the body to detect eventually diseases or abnormalities tissues. These images are obtained with a simple linear or sector scan US probe, which show a granular appearance called speckle. . Unfortunately, the presence of speckle noise affects edges and fine details which limit the contrast resolution and make diagnostic more difficult...
Abstract The interaction between nanoparticles and radiation holds great interest in Nano medicine. Hyperthermia by laser has been considered as safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normal tissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based on a selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, and copper have been recognized to highly interact with laser beam because of surfa...
Abstract Diabetic patients are generally advised to check their blood glucose level 5to 7 times per day. Since the all current existing conventional methods of home blood glucose tests are painful, intimidating, laborious, and expensive, since they require obtaining a blood sample by pricking a fingertip with a needle or lancet. Thus it is necessary to develop a non-invasive blood glucose method which could provide fast, painless, and convenient glucose monitoring to diabetic patients. Since...
Abstract Proper management of health information is an important in providing safe and efficient patient care. Recent studies shown that adoption of IT (information technology) in health care participate in improving the quality of care, preventing of medical errors, reducing of health care cost. The slaw adoption of it in health care can be result of many factors like doubt of benefit vs. cost of it. One of information technology systems is hl7 (health level 7) which is a software program r...
Abstract Rehabilitation is an important branch of biomedical engineering specializations that is exceedingly related to the healthcare delivery and its improvement, one of the most important topics of rehabilitation is prosthesis that is related to resolving the problems of the amputations and artificial joints. The later has been widespread recently due to the bone diseases and traumas. Subsidence, stress shielding, fatigue fracture, stiffness mismatching and expensive prices are the most c...
Abstract 95 ECG signals were collected from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database in Physionet bank in Physionet website. 25 of these samples are said to be abnormal and the rest 70 sample are normal sinus rhythm ECG. These samples were processed to remove baseline wonder and high frequency noise using Fast Fourier Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform. The Matlab program was also developed to extract the main feature of the ECG signal during a set period of time. Starting with segmenting the signa...
Abstract This research aims to program a data base of prominent and the most common diseases, which require supplementary oxygen care, by determining the specific range between the maximum and minimum dose, those can give a satisfied result. The minimum level will be given automatically, to increase the oxygen level and to determine the patient timing that will be subject to medical consultation and doctor's recommendations. The main objectives of this thesis are, over dose risk to be preven...
ABSTRACT The outgrowth and quick development in telecommunication technologies has open new opportunities for diagnosing of many diseases, which is life threatening, for patients who are in rural areas and district far away from city, and where there is no specialists. Not all of the diseases are to be diagnosed using telecommunication technologies. Critical and life threatening diseases, in which patient cannot wait until going to central hospital, or specialist, need to benefit from the ad...
Central Medical Waste Treatment Facility Abstract The main purpose of the research is to design a Common Central biomedical waste treatment facility CBWTF and number of waste assembly points distributed in different geographical locations within state of Khartoum, and then treating and destroying hazardous wastes in a cost-effective and ecology friend. The design depends on high temperature thermal process, that reduce waste hazard, volume and destroying harmful substances by employing combu...
ABSTRACT Auscultation is a technique, in which Physicians used the stethoscope to listen to patient’s heart sounds in order to make a diagnosis. However, the determination of heart conditions by heart auscultation is a difficult task and it requires special training of medical staff. On the other hand, in primary or home health care, when deciding who requires special care, auscultation plays a very important role; and for these situations, an ‘‘intelligent stethoscope’’ with decis...
Abstract Medical device is the key factor in making decision for patients; it is an important component in healthcare system, the development of new medical technologies can improve its ability of diagnoses and treatment. One of the most important steps of medical device life cycle is procurement and logistics which is regulated by federal ministry of health (FMOH). The most serious problem that encounters the tender procurement process in Sudan is that it is still paper based system. The me...
Abstract Pain detection using a quick response method is considered an important point that must be considered especially for emergency medicine. This project presents new technique that records the myoelectrical activity of the stomach, which is effective due to its non-invasive nature and its correlation with gastric motility .The procedure was simulated with the aid of MATLAB 7.8 to generate a reference signal and another signal to indicate to the patient’s signal by using signal proces...
Abstract In the last century, cardiovascular illnesses are the first death cause in developed countries. For this reason, many efforts have been made in order to develop sophisticated techniques for the early diagnoses of cardiac disorders. The Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals contain very useful information about the condition of the heart. By analyzing these signals, early detection and diagnosis of heart diseases can be done. It is also very useful in the case of infants, where ECG recording...
Abstract Clinical engineering using of biomedical engineering in the health institutions in order to provide excellent health services by adjusting the purchase of equipment and their uses and maintenance standards. The goal of the project is to design a program that helps in the management and organization the department of clinical engineering in health institutions. The project was accomplished using micro soft access programming language. The program depends on the inventory of the devic...
Abstract Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a common worldwide infection and a medical and social problem causing high mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. An expert system for diagnosis of this disease was designed based on expert’s knowledge for providing decision support platform to assist fresh graduator (inexperienced) physicians, and other healthcare practitioners to arrive the final diagnosis of TB more quickly and efficiently especially in rural areas.
