Biomedical engineering is an evolving science that seeks to insert technically oriented and trained personnel to assist medical professionals in solving technological problems in the pursuit of innovations in the delivery of health care. Consequently, engineering solutions are brought to bear on problems that previously were outside the training of physicians and beyond the understanding or appreciation of the conventionally educated electrical or mechanical engineers. This physician/scientist/engineer team has a capability to extend medicine and research far beyond the capability of a single entity operating alone. How biomedical engineering has added a new dimension to medical science at the Kennedy Space Center is described.
生物医学工程是一门不断发展的科学,旨在引入技术导向型且训练有素的人员,协助医学专业人员解决技术问题,以推动医疗保健服务的创新。因此,工程解决方案被应用于解决以前超出医生培训范围、传统教育背景的电气或机械工程师理解或认知能力的问题。这种医生/科学家/工程师团队有能力将医学和研究扩展到远远超出单个实体单独运作的能力范围。本文描述了生物医学工程如何在肯尼迪航天中心为医学科学增添了新的维度。
