What is Medical Equipment and Types of Medical
Equipment ?

• Medical equipment also known as armamentarium.
  its is designed to aid in the diagnosis,
  monitoring or treatment of medical conditions.
  The development of new advance featured medical
  equipment helps a patient to easily recover from
  their disease.Some of the most commonly used
  pieces of diagnostic equipment include MRI, ultras
  ound machines, PET scanners (which use cameras
  and tracer fluid to produce images of a patients
  internal organs in order to detect signs of
  cancer or other diseases), CT scanners (which use
  x-ray sand dye to do the same job as PET scanner)

There are Several Basic Types of Hospital Medical
Equipment are

• There are more than 10,000 types of medical
  devices available. Life support medical equipment
  is used to maintain a patients bodily function.
  This includes medical ventilators, incubators,
  anaesthetic machines, heart-lung machines, ECMO,
  and dialysis machines.
• Medical monitors allow medical staff to measure a
  patients medical state. Monitors may measure
  patient vital signs and other parameters
  including ECG, EEG, and blood pressure.
• Laboratory Medical equipment automates or helps
  analyze blood, urine, genes, and dissolved gases
  in the blood.

• Diagnostic Medical Equipment  may also be used in
  the home for certain purposes, e.g. for the
  control of diabetes mellitus
• Therapeutic physical therapy machines like
  continuous passive range of motion (CPM) machines
• A bio medical equipment technician (BMET) is a
  vital component of the healthcare delivery
  system. Employed primarily by hospitals, BMETs
  are the people responsible for maintaining a
  facilitys medical equipment. BMET mainly act as
  an interface between doctor and equipment.

Medical Diagnosis Medical Equipment

• Medical diagnosis is the process of determining
  which disease or condition explains a persons
  symptoms and signs. It is most often referred to
  as diagnosis with the medical context being
  implicit. The information required for diagnosis
  is typically collected from a history and
  physical examination of the person seeking
  medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic
  procedures, such as diagnostic tests, are also
  done during the process. Sometimes Posthumous
  diagnosis is considered a kind of medical
  diagnosis. Medical equipment is designed to aid
  in the diagnosis, monitoring or treatment of
  medical conditions. The development of new
  advance featured medical equipment helps a
  patient to easily recover from their disease.

 Medical imaging

• Medical imaging is the technique and process of
  creating visual representations of the interior
  of a body for clinical analysis and medical
  intervention, as well as visual representation of
  the function of some organs or tissues
  (physiology). Medical imaging seeks to reveal
  internal structures hidden by the skin and bones,
  as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical
  imaging also establishes a database of normal
  anatomy and physiology to make it possible to
  identify abnormalities. Although imaging of
  removed organs and tissues can be performed for
  medical reasons, such procedures are usually
  considered part of pathology instead of medical
  imaging.

Medical ultrasound

•  (also known as diagnostic sonography or
  ultrasonography) is a diagnostic imaging
  technique based on the application of ultrasound.
  It is used to see internal body structures such
  as tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal
  organs. Its aim is often to find a source of a
  disease or to exclude any pathology. The practice
  of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is
  called obstetric ultrasound, and is widely used.
• Ultrasound is sound waves with frequencies which
  are higher than those audible to humans (gt20,000
  Hz). Ultrasonic images also known as sonograms
  are made by sending pulses of ultrasound into
  tissue using a probe. The sound echoes off the
  tissue with different tissues reflecting varying
  degrees of sound. These echoes are recorded and
  displayed as an image to the operator.

 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical
  imaging technique used in radiology to form
  pictures of the anatomy and the physiological
  processes of the body in both health and
  disease. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields,
  radio waves, and field gradients to generate
  images of the inside of the body.
• MRI does not involve x-rays, which distinguishes
  it from computed tomography (CT or CAT). While
  the hazards of x-rays are now well-controlled in
  most medical contexts, MRI can still be seen as
  superior to CT in this regard. MRI can often
  yield different diagnostic information compared
  with CT. There can be risks and discomfort
  associated with MRI scans. Compared with CT, MRI
  scans typically take more time, are louder, and
  usually require that the subject go into a narrow
  tube. In addition, people with some medical
  implants or other non-removable metal inside the
  body may be unable to safely undergo an MRI
  examination.

Positron emission tomography (PET)

• is a nuclear medicine, functional imaging
  technique that is used to observe metabolic
  processes in the body. The system detects pairs
  of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a
  positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer), which is
  introduced into the body on a biologically active
  molecule. Three-dimensional images of tracer
  concentration within the body are then
  constructed by computer analysis. In
  modern PET-CT scanners, three dimensional imaging
  is often accomplished with the aid of a CT X-ray
  scan performed on the patient during the same
  session, in the same machine.
• If the biologically active molecule chosen
  for PET is fludeoxy glucose (FDG), an analogue of
  glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged will
  indicate tissue metabolic activity as it
  corresponds to the regional glucose uptake. Use
  of this tracer to explore the possibility of
  cancer metastasis (i.e., spreading to other
  sites) is the most common type of PET scan in
  standard medical care (90 of current scans).
  However, although on a minority basis, many other
  radioactive tracers are used in PET to image the
  tissue concentration of other types of molecules
  of interest. One of the disadvantages of PET
  scanners is their operating cost.

CT scan

• A CT scan (often referred to as a CAT scan) makes
  use of computer-processed combinations of many
  X-ray images taken from different angles to
  produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images of
  specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the
  user to see inside the object without cutting.

11
 X-ray generator

• An X-ray generator is a device that produces
  X-rays. It is commonly used in a variety of
  applications including medicine, fluorescence,
  electronic assembly inspection, and measurement
  of material thickness in manufacturing
  operations. In medical applications, X-ray
  generators are used by radiographers to acquire
  x-ray images of the internal structures (e.g.,
  bones) of living organisms, and also in
  sterilization.
