Clinical assessment of biomedical technology

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1993
The rapid expansion of new, unproven, and often expensive biomedical technology requires controlled clinical assessment before widespread diffusion into clinical practice. The accuracy, reliability, and validity all need to be assessed in an unbiased manner to determine whether implementation is of benefit to the clinician and patient.

Biomedical technology assessment in health care centers: Systemic approach

2013 Pan American Health Care Exchanges (PAHCE), 2013
This paper presents a systemic approach to technology assessment in acquisition processes, describing four stages that are executed sequentially and generates as output quantitative indicators that facilitate the choice of either technology. We present an application to the case of the acquisition of 164 units for clinical dental training at the School

Advances in biomedical imaging using THz technology with applications to burn-wound assessment

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
Terahertz (THz) hydration sensing and image has been a topic of increased interest recently due largely to improvements in source and detector technology and the identification of applications where current hydration sensing techniques are insufficient. THz medical imaging is an expanding field of research and tissue hydration plays a key role in the
