Medical Technology

An infusion pump meters fluid with controlled motor steps and safety sensors. Learn how delivery, alarms and real-world flow errors interact.

A digital X-ray detector converts transmitted radiation into calibrated pixel values. Follow direct and indirect detection, readout and artifacts.

An endoscope carries light inward and an image outward through fibers or a tiny sensor. See how optics, steering and processing create the view.

An AED filters an ECG and shocks only selected rhythms. Learn how the pads, classifier, capacitor and safety prompts work together.

A continuous glucose monitor converts an enzyme reaction under the skin into glucose trends. Learn the signal path, time lag and error sources.

A ventilator controls pressure, flow and breath timing to support gas exchange. Learn what each breath mode measures and why settings matter.

Hemodialysis uses a membrane, concentration gradients and pressure to remove wastes and water. See the circuit, controls and main limitations.

A cochlear implant turns sound into electrical patterns for the auditory nerve. Follow the microphone, processor, transmitter and electrode array.

A pacemaker senses heartbeats and supplies timed electrical pulses when needed. Learn how sensing, pacing and safety timing work together.

A PET scanner maps tracer activity from coincident gamma photons. Follow the path from positron emission to a reconstructed metabolic image.
