The Department of Medical System Engineering was established in 2004. The major objectives of the department are to achieve and maintain excellence in teaching and research in the fields of Medical System Engineering. The department consists of two divisions: Medical Information Systems and Medical Device and Technology. Each division has several laboratories, which cover research fields of Biosignal Processing, Medical Imaging, Medical Electronics, and Bioinstrumentaion and Biomechatronis to contribute to clinical health information systems, evaluation of computerized patient care, genetic bioinformatics, medical imaging, medical informatics research and other topics of medical engineering related to information sciences and/or electronics.
| BIOSIGNAL PROCESSING: Research interest covers investigation of signal processing of human neural systems, particularly vision including brain functions related visual perception and its medical application. The application aspects of the research are human interface of medical instruments and evaluation of visual functions. |  |
| MEDICAL IMAGING: The research projects are related to biomedical measurements technologies using light and sound and the image processing, which includes ultrasound imaging of human tissues and image processing of retinal photographs. |  |
| MEDICAL ELECTRONICS: The main research of this field is the medical engineering based on the computer science and the electronic engineering. It includes development of new medical device and computer system for the medical engineering. |  |
| BIOINSTRUMENTATION AND BIOMECHATRONICS: The main research theme of the laboratory includes developing the medical and assistive devices, which improve the quality of life in patients and elderly people as well as young healthy people. |  |
The Department of Medical System Engineering offers opportunity to learn information and electronic sciences and technologies, and basic knowledge of medical environments through classes in School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and others. The objective of the program is to cultivate graduates of great ability and extensive knowledge in Medical System Engineering. The program leads to the Bachelor of Engineering. Students must complete 128 units, including a thesis.
