The Present State and Future Perspective of Biomedical Engineering in Japan

Abstract

Medicine has been directly involved with life of organisms, including humans as primary focus with treatment or therapy as one of the important aims. An organism at any level of complexity possesses a variety of physiological functions. Understanding these biological functions and their complex and exquisite mechanisms is also another basic aim of medicine. Remarkable progress in medicine are made by introducing a variety of medical equipment including X-ray CT and NMR and the medical application of computers and their network systems. Modern medicine and medical treatment cannot be fully utilized without theses equipment.
