Biomedical Project Ideas: Visualization tool for Myocardial Strain Tensors

The heart is a complex three-dimensional structure with mechanical properties that are inhomogeneous, non-linear, time-variant and anisotropic. These properties affect major physiological factors within the heart, such as the pumping performance of the ventricles, the oxygen demand in the tissue and the distribution of coronary blood flow.

During the cardiac cycle the heart muscle tissue is deformed as a consequence of the active contraction of the muscle fibers and their relaxation respectively. A mapping of this deformation would give increased understanding of the mechanical properties of the heart. The deformation induces strain and stress in the tissue which are both mechanical properties and can be described with a mathematical tensor object.

OpenECGproject: Make “ECG Machine” as Biomedical Project

ECG

The openECGproject is an online community conceived around a simple, but challenging and worthy goal – to develop an open source hardware and software solution for electrocardiography.

This is essentially a playground designed for people of different backgrounds to put their minds together and create something that could make a difference in this world. It started as an itch that needed scratching, so Dr. Ivor Kovic (external link) initiated this community with high hopes that people who can make this vision come true will join and contribute to the project.

Bioyantra-2011,National Symposium on “Medical Radiation Safety” at SRM University

SRM University is organizing a National level symposium on ” Medical Radiation Safety” on 17th & 18th march 2011.

Scope of Symposium

The main aim of this symposium is to enable participants to understand fundamentals of radiation, Nature of radiation& tissue interaction, Radiation safety measures to be taken while using them.The event will give practical idea on radiation equipment & safety equipments.

WORKSHOP CONTENT

  • FUNDAMENTALS OF IONIZING RADIATION
  • RADIATION DETECTION AND MEASUREMENT
  • BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIATION
  • MANAGEMENT OF RADIATION ACCIDENT & SAFETY HANDLING OF RADIATION SOURCES

PRACTICAL ASPECT

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ABOUT ECG

EASY ECG- powerpoint presentations


“The ECG learning modules are designed to help you learn how to look at ECG rhythm strips and interpret them. Is the strip the normal rhythm of the heart — normal sinus rhythm? Or an abnormal and potential dangerous rhythm like ventricular fibrillation? You will also be introduced to the 12-lead ECG and learn how to look for signs of an acute myocardial infarction” – UCSF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
