An analysis of the most interesting exponents of the Leipzig autumn fair of 1977 served as a groundwork for an attempt to outline the major orientation and trends in the development of the biomedical engineering. The advantages of the functional units method of designing are taken notice of on an example of some groups of devices manufactured both in the countries members of the Council for Economic Mutual Assistance and in western countries. Emphasis is placed on the good prospects offered by medical devices for ultrasonic location of the heart with the type M scanning, of the X-ray units intended for solving concrete diagnostic objectives within a narrow branch of medicine (apparatus for mammography, for use in urology, etc). Particular attention is paid to the medical equipment utilizing the elements of computer technique, in the form of built-in units and also in that of complex setups in which small computers ensure the most effective realization of the diagnosis and treatment.
对1977年莱比锡秋季博览会最有趣的参展产品进行分析，以此为基础尝试勾勒生物医学工程发展的主要方向和趋势。以经济互助委员会成员国和西方国家生产的一些设备组为例，注意到了功能单元设计方法的优点。重点介绍了用于心脏超声定位的M型扫描医疗设备以及用于医学特定狭窄领域解决具体诊断目标的X射线设备（乳腺摄影设备、泌尿科用设备等）所展现的良好前景。特别关注利用计算机技术元件的医疗设备，这些元件以内置单元的形式存在，也存在于小型计算机确保最有效实现诊断和治疗的复杂装置形式中。
