Abstract

Advanced technology is applied in many areas of healthcare for diagnosis as well as for therapy. Medical Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to improve the health care by new equipment to make work easier, pleasant, quick and productive. Now, in modern hospitals, technologists and biomedical engineers are involved in routine day to day work, research and technical development. As a result, the close association between these professionals has strongly influenced the modern health care facilities and resulted in many state of art technology to be incorporated into the health care system. Health care facilities in coming years will witness greater contribution of biomedical engineers to make it more effective and quality based.
