* Unusual nipple discharge.
The Role of Biomedical Engineers
Biomedical engineers contribute to the development, maintenance, and optimization of diagnostic equipment, including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI systems. They also help develop artificial intelligence systems that assist physicians in interpreting medical images accurately.
