| DESCRIPTION | Biomedical signal processing is one of the most powerful tools in medical diagnosis and is to be found in all speciality areas of Medical Physics and many other devices are often controlled using biomedical signals from the patient. Biomedical signal processing is important for enhancing the visual appearance of physiological signals for the clinician, for preparing signals for measurement of features present and for the extraction of quantitative data from the signals. Study-unit Aims 1. To help students acquire the biomedical signal processing expertise necessary to act as expert in the the technical aspects of clinical signal processing. 2. To help students: a. Appreciate the origin and nature of biomedical signals. b. Understand and apply the following signal processing principles to biomedical signals: Fourier analysis of signals, signal sampling and quantisation, frequency domain analysis of signals, signal filtering. 3. To train students in the use of appropriate signal processing software Learning Outcomes 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: Principles of Biomedical Signal Processing for Medical Physics 1. Appreciate the origin and nature of biomedical signals. 2. Understand and apply the following signal processing principles to biomedical signals: a. Fourier analysis of signals b. Signal sampling and quantisation c. Frequency domain analysis of signals d. Signal filtering 3. Use of appropriate signal processing software 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: 1. Make use of advanced mathematical and analytical skills 2. Use signal processing software Main Text/s and any supplementary readings Main text: - Kamen EW & Heck BS. Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Using the Web and Matlab. Prentice Hall.
