    BME2 Applied Biomedical Engineering 
    Essay Assignments   BME3 Healthcare Industry 
    Laboratories    BME4 Computational Methods 
    BME5 Laboratories for BME1 and BME2 
    Projects    BME6 Group Project 
    BME7 Individual Project 
     
    BME1 Biomedical Engineering 
    BME1 consists of 32 lectures and 8 classes and covers basic material that underpins
    biomedical engineering. The material is examined in one three-hour written paper in
    June. 2 x 5 hour laboratories accompany the lectures (see BME5). 
     
    BME1 Quantitative Physiology 
    This series of lectures provides the foundations in physiology relevant to other BME1
    courses. The course will introduce the basic structure and models of cellular systems,
    the structure of the cardiovascular system, electrical activity of the heart, vascular
    systems and autoregulation. 
     
    BME1 Biomedical Fluid Mechanics 
    This course is designed to provide an introduction to the application of Fluid Mechanics
    to Biomedical Engineering problems. The course will introduce the basic physiology of
    selected systems. Simplified fluid mechanics and thermodynamics models will be used
    to gain further insights into the function of these systems. Some clinical cases of disease
    will be described together with existing and emerging fluid mechanics methodologies
    aimed at their treatment. 
     
    BME1 Biomechanics 
    Biomechanics is the application of the principles of mechanics and the techniques of
    engineering to the study of biological systems, including the human body. This series of
    eight lectures gives an introduction to the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system
    and highlights selected applications in the area of orthopaedics (gait analysis, joint
    replacement). 
     
    BME1 Biomedical Instrumentation 
    This course introduces the measurement of biopotentials (principally the
    electrocardiograph or ECG) and the non-invasive probing of the body to measure
    respiration, oxygen saturation and blood pressure.  It provides an overview of vital sign
    measurement for patient monitoring.

    BME2 Applied Biomedical Engineering 
    BME2 consists of 32 lectures and 8 example classes and covers applied biomedical
    engineering. The material is examined in a three-hour written paper in June. 4 x 3 hour
    laboratories accompany the lectures (see BME5). 
     
    BME2 Modelling of physiological and pathological processes 
    This lecture series looks into the application of simulation tools, computational modelling,
    and numerical analysis techniques for the investigation of processes in the human body.
    Emphasis will be placed on the multiple scales that coexist and interact in these
    processes (from “cell-to-organ”), but also on the concurrent influence that diverse
    physical mechanisms have. 
     
    BME2 Magnetic Resonance and Nuclear Imaging 
    Nuclear-based imaging has been around for decades to provide functional images of the
    body but has received a resurgence of interest recently as a way to image biological
    processes. This short course aims to provide an introduction to this topic. The course
    covers principles of magnetic resonance, classic and advanced MR imaging, positron
    emission tomography (PET), including PET tracers and compartment models, as well as
    a brief introduction to molecular imaging. 
     
    BME2 Medical Image Analysis 
    This course builds on BME1: Biomedical Instrumentation and complements BME2
    Magnetic resonance and nuclear imaging covering basic medical image analysis
    methodology and its validation illustrated by clinical applications. Topics covered include
    filtering, segmentation, registration, shape analysis, and validation of medical image
    analysis methods. 
     
    BME2 Tissue Engineering/Molecular and Cellular Engineering 
    Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering
    and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain,
    or improve tissue  functions. It is still a very much developing discipline. This series of
    lectures discuss the fundamental principles of tissue engineering, emphasizing
    engineering contribution to tissue engineering. 
     
    BME2 Mechanobiology of the musculoskeletal system 
    This course complements the BME1 course on biomechanics which focuses on bones
    and joints. Topics covered include physiology and modelling of musculoskeletal tissue,
    tools for studying mechanobiology and mechanobiology theories and applications. 
     
    BME2 Biomedical Ultrasonics 
    This course covers basic acoustic physics, biomedical ultrasonic imaging, mechanical
    and thermal affects of ultrasound and diagnostic and therapeutic applications of
    ultrasound and related techniques. 

    BME3 Healthcare Industry 
    A series of 8 lectures/invited talks on various aspects of the pharmaceutical, biotech and
    medical devices industries. Actual topics covered will depend on the speakers but will
    include; case studies from industry, economics, management and public policy; and
    government regulation in the UK, EU and worldwide. There will be two classes and two
    written assignments. 
     
    BME4 Computational Methods 
    This is a self-learning course where students build on their existing knowledge of
    computational methods. The course involves using Matlab to solve real examples from
    the scientific literature, where students are expected to extract the necessary equations
    and to solve them to investigate the behaviour of different systems, describing a range of
    topics covered elsewhere on the course. 
     
    BME5 Laboratories 

    BME1 Laboratory 1 (5hrs): Medical instrumentation: Instrumentation to measure
    physiological and circulatory functions - for example EEG to monitor brain function, ECG
    to monitor heart beat. An introduction to the difficulties of data collection will be given.
    Students will gather signals and use electrical test equipment and computer software to
    investigate issues associated with the measurements, and to extract suitable signals. 
     
    BME1 Laboratory 2 (5hrs): Biomechanics laboratory: 2-hour visit to the Oxford Gait
    Laboratory for a demonstration of 3d motion analysis equipment and floor-mounted force
    plates, followed by a 3-hour Matlab exercise in which motion and force data is processed
    and analysed. 
     
    BME 2 Laboratory 1 (3hrs): Modelling of physiological and pathological processes:
    computer-based exercise with self-contained computational tasks in which students
    conduct simulations, interrogate critically the results and identify patterns, trends and
    mechanisms in the data generated. Students will be provided with the computational
    tools and related software (Matlab, Fortran, C, CFD-ACE, codes). 
     
    BME2 Laboratory 2 (3hrs): Tissue Engineering: Cell functional assays: Basic skills of cell
    handling. Microscopic observation of cells and tissue. Live and dead assays with and
    without using fluorescence molecular probe. 
     
    BME2 Laboratory 3 (3hrs): Medical image analysis: computer-based exercises in which
    students will investigate image segmentation and registration methods met in the lecture
    course using an image analysis software applications package called the ITK toolkit. 
     
    BME2 Laboratory 4 (3hrs): Ultrasound-based sensing and measurement techniques.
    Sound beams will be used to probe material geometric structures (interfaces, etc) and
    physical properties (sound speed, attenuation, impedance, etc.). Acoustic sensors will
    probe the structure of sound beams and results compared to model predictions. Key
    issues related to coupling, calibration and data processing will be addressed.
     
    BME6 Group Project 
    Also included in the group project activities are eight sessions and two written
    assignments covering general research skills related to communication and ethics of
    research. 
     
    BME7 Individual Project 
    Students will be encouraged to define a project that matches their own interests with the
    research interests of a project supervisor. A list of potential supervisors and their
    interests will be provided in Hilary Term. Students will be expected to have put together
    (with the help of their supervisor) a project description and time plan by the end of Hilary
    Term, and this will be approved by the MSc Project Co-ordinator. We also hope to offer
    some industry-based projects which will involve work with/time spent in biomedical
    engineering companies.
