Subdisciplines within biomedical engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Biomedical engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field, influenced by (and overlapping with) various other engineering and medical fields. This often happens with newer disciplines, as they gradually emerge in their own right after evolving from special applications of extant disciplines. Due to this diversity, it is typical for a biomedical engineer to focus on a particular subfield or group of related subfields. There are many different taxonomic breakdowns within BME, as well as varying views about how best to organize them and manage any internal overlap; the main U.S. organization devoted to BME divides the major specialty areas as follows:

Biomedical Electronics
Biomechatronics
Bioinstrumentation
Biomaterials
Biomechanics
Bionics
Cellular, Tissue, and Genetic Engineering
Clinical Engineering
Medical Imaging
Orthopaedic Bioengineering
Rehabilitation engineering
Systems Physiology
Bionanotechnology
Neural Engineering
