Computer simulations “provide patients with a realistic picture of what they would look like after their surgery and are constrained by what is actually surgically possible,” said biomedical engineer Mia Markey. Photo by Melissa Mixon.
This story was first published on the Cockrell School of Engineering Web site. It was written by Melissa Mixon.
Faculty and students at the Cockrell School of Engineering are developing ways for cancer patients and children born with facial deformities to make more informed decisions about which reconstructive surgeries would be most aesthetically pleasing and practical based on their individual body types and personal preferences.

DUTIES OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER:
Various activities that a biomedical engineer do are:
1.Using computer soft wares and mathematical models to develop medical equipments. This can also involve building prototypes , programming electronics as well as trouble shooting problems .
2.Coordinating with technicians , manufacturer to develop the final product .
3.Collecting data,conducting interviews and conferences to solve problems .
4.Working closely with other members of medical fraternity like doctors and therapists to make a product that satisfies everybody’s needs.
5.Doing modifications being suggested by professional and patients .
6.Making arrangements for conducting the clinical trails .
The Southeast Biomedical Engineering Career Conference (SEBECC) 2011 brings together students & practitioners of Biomedical Engineering and the Life Sciences for panel discussions, technical sessions, and informal extended exchange of ideas important to the future of Biomedical Engineering. Some conference highlights include:
– Assisting participants in planning their academic and industrial careers
– Introducing companies to the wealth of intellectual prowess rooted in the Southeast
– Exposing participants to innovative research in biomedical engineering and allied areas
– Promoting potential employees through a Career Networking Session

This post is to notify all the Biomedical Engineers who are interested in working for Biomedical Engineering in a global manner. This program was already launched but no updates were made after 2010. So as I saw this program was making no progress , i decided that i should reach the people who are related to Biomedical Engineering i.e you all who are there reading this Biomedical Engineering post.
If we need to nurture this field then we must make some common resource which are later on useful for the upcoming Biomedical Engineers . As education is most essential thing and for the education Books and the study material are the most essential things which are needed by a students to succeed.

Laser physicists have, for the first time, succeeded in real-time observation of laser-accelerated fast electron swarms in conjunction with a plasma wave consisting of positively charged helium ions and slow background electrons. The findings will help development of new X-ray sources with much higher resolution than current devices allow for biomedical applications, as well as facilitate development of new electron and light sources for exploring the structure of atoms and molecules.
This is a preview of LASER: New source for X-rays providing Higher resolution.

Q: What does a biomedical equipment technician do?
A: Biomedical equipment technicians are specialists in the support, maintenance and repair of medial technology. Technicians work as a part of the health care team with a variety of medical devices that diagnose, treat and assist patients. We install, inspect, calibrate, modify, test and repair a wide range of medical equipment to meet medical standard guidelines as well as educate, train and advise medical staff on the proper use of equipment.
Q: What equipment do you work with on a daily basis?
