This document discusses the application of digital signal processing (DSP) in biomedical engineering. It describes how DSP is used in applications like electrocardiography (ECG), hearing aids, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and measuring blood pressure. DSP enables the analysis and visualization of biomedical data and improves the efficiency of medical devices. Key advantages of DSP include its ability to precisely diagnose conditions, reduce background noise, and provide highly customizable solutions for individual patient needs.

3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
• A historical trend of the last half-century is the replacement of
analog signals by digital signals.
• [1] It was in the 1960s that a discipline of digital signal processing
began to form.
• Two very important advantages to digital signals:
i. Digital signals can be reproduced exactly
ii. Digital signals can be manipulated easily.
• Today digital signal processing is a major branch of engineering.
4. INTRODUCTION
• DSP SYSTEM:
• Without DSP, it would not be easy to analyze and visualize data and
perform their design, and so on.
• DSP is very often used method in a biomedical engineering research.
• Medical instruments would be less efficient for precise diagnoses if there
were no digital electrocardiography (ECG) analyzers or digital x-rays and
medical image systems.

AID
6. HEARING AID
• A hearing aid is simply an electronic sound amplifier.
• You've seen people on stage speak into a microphone and have
their voices hugely amplified by giant loudspeaker so crowds can
hear them.
• A hearing aid works exactly the same way, except that the micro
phone, amplifier, and loudspeaker (and the battery that powers
them) are built into a small, discreet, plastic package worn behind
the ear.
• Types: Analog Hearing Aid and Digital Hearing Aid
9. ADVANTAGES
ANALOG HEARING AID
• Generally cost less than digital
hearing aids
• Are sometimes more powerful
than digital hearing aids
• Long time hearing aid users
sometimes prefer analog over
digital
DIGITAL HEARING AID
• Can be programmed with noise
reduction algorithms to help
reduce background noise
• Highly programmable for
various listening environments
• Most flexible and adjustable for
specific user needs
10. MRI
A real-time-time cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system
has been implement using digital signal processing (DSP)
technology.
The system enables real-time acquisition, processing and display of
cardiac movies at moderate video rates of 20 images/sec.
11. WHAT IS MRI
Hydrogen atom nucleus (proton) is acting as micro magnet.
Human body is full of proton in every organ and tissues but with
different concentration in different structure.
“That’s where the “M” agnetic of MRI comes from”
12. Each proton is rotating around its axis as 63,000,000
rotation per second
now we need to capture the emitted energy from RF
coil.
When the RF power is sent (at 63MHz), protons from
whole body respond.
It is needed to select certain “slice” to image
13. Now the 63MHz RF pulse excites only the 63MHz slice that’s the
“R”esonance of MRI comes from
Remember human body is 3D, slice direction can be determined by using
any of three(x,y,z) gradient i:e. Axial, Sagittal, Coronal
15. WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Description:
• Blood pressure is one of physiological variables,
• Sphygmomanometer, which determines the blood pressure with
other means ,such as heart signals.
• BP indicates the force with which blood is driven through the heart.
• It is divided into two sections
i)Systole
ii)Diastole
16. THE ACQUISITION OF A BLOOD
PRESSURE SIGNAL
• A blood pressure (BP) signal contains clinically relevant
components up to about 20 Hz.
• The signal is contaminated by noise at the mains frequency (50Hz)
and other noise (mainly below 50 Hz) may also be present.
• Now ,what should be sampling rate?

19. EEG
EEG stand for electro-encephalo-graph
Recording of electrical signals from human brain
signal's parameters and patterns indicate the health of the brain
EEG is the key area of biomedical data analysis
DSP functions are used to analyze the EEG signals
21. DSP BASED ANALYTICAL METHODS
Spectral estimation
Periodogram
Maximum entropy method
AR method
ARMA method
Maximum likelihood method
22. CONCLUSION
• The importance of DSP in biomedical engineering is quite clear
now.
• Without DSP, it would not be convenient for doctors to give proper
treatment to patient.
• Results would be uncertain without DSP.
• Efficiency of medical instruments is enhanced using DSP.
