Applications of Electrochemistry in Medicine

Abstract

Medicine is an applied field of science that has always strived to make use of new and existing technologies and techniques, such as the synthesis of medications, X-ray and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, mechanical implants, along with a host of others, to improve the health and increase the life span of individuals. Advancements in medicine have largely occurred in concert with technological advances resulting in a sophisticated interplay in the advancement of both. The ongoing goal of medicine to better treat patients requires a great deal of research from a wide variety of fields including electrochemistry.
