As part of its ongoing series of scientific activities aimed at enhancing students' practical skills, Future University's Biomedical Engineering Department organized a series of specialized workshops titled "Medical Imaging Techniques and Functional Anatomy." These workshops, led by Assistant Lecturer Maher Rahim, aimed to connect theoretical curricula with the latest advanced medical and engineering technologies.
About the Workshops and Activities:
These workshops aimed to deepen students' scientific knowledge by showcasing the latest methods for linking theoretical aspects with practical applications within the medical field. The sessions focused on understanding the precise mechanisms that ensure the efficiency of medical systems and developing biomedical engineers' skills in handling complex technologies.
Methodology:
The workshops employed a technical analysis and interactive presentation approach, covering:
• Highlighting computed tomography (CT) scan techniques and their mechanisms of operation, along with an engineering explanation of the data acquisition and processing stages.
• Reviewing different laser types and their surgical and diagnostic applications, highlighting their pivotal role in modern medicine.
• Explaining the concepts of engineering anatomy and the neural processing of the senses, and how this physiological information is utilized in the design and development of modern medical devices. • Highlighting the importance of engineering control in these technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy and the efficiency of treatment procedures.
The session witnessed outstanding student engagement, as this series contributed to simplifying complex scientific concepts and connecting them to real-world applications, thus enhancing graduates' readiness for the medical and engineering job market.
Objectives of the Scientific Activity:
The themes of these workshops align with the Sustainable Development Goals, including:
• Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being): By equipping students with the knowledge necessary to develop diagnostic and therapeutic technologies that contribute to improved healthcare.
• Goal 4 (Quality Education): By providing a learning environment that integrates basic sciences and engineering technologies according to international standards.
• Goal 9 (Industry and Innovation): By promoting applied knowledge and developing students' skills in innovating and using advanced medical and engineering technologies.
