3 Main uses of Computer in Medical.

“A computer is a device that accepts

information (in the form of digitalized

data) and manipulates it for some result

based on a program or sequence of

instructions on how the data is to be

processed”

”the science of dealing with the maintenan

ce of health and the prevention

and treatment of disease”

Bioengineering

The use of engineering for medical purposes, for example

the use of artificial body parts, organs etc. to replace

damaged ones.

Hematology

The scientific study of

Blood.

Oncology

The study and treatment

of cancer.

Cytology

The study of how cells grow and change,

for example cells that cause cancer

Urology

the study of diseases of the urinary

system, or medical treatment for

them.

Genetics

the study of how the individual features and behavior of

living things are passed on through their genes.

Neurology

Study of your nervous system and the diseases that

affect it.

Radiology

A medical treatment in which radiation is used for

treating an illness, or the study of this type of

treatment.

Gynecology

The type of medicine that deals with the study and

treatment of medical conditions and diseases that

affect women and their reproductive organs

Biomedicine

The principles of biology and biochemistry applied to the practice of medicine.

Cardiology

The area of medicine that deals

with the heart and the diseases

that affect it.

Embryology

The scientific study of

embryos.

1- Patient Monitoring

Different electronic scanning devices (medical equipment) are used in hospitals. They are connected with computers. These devices are used to monitor the patient continuously.

Computers are normally used in the following

medical units of hospitals for monitoring

patients.

ICU (Intensive Care Unit)

Operation Theater

Recovery Room

Medical Ward

ECG (Electrocardiograph)

The medical equipment with sensors is attached to the patient. It detects changes in heart rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity. If any unbalancing situation occurs, computer activates the alarming device, which creates sound and alerts the medical staff.

The complete bio-data as well as medical history of a patient is recorded into the computer. The medical history is delivered to the related doctor for the check up of the patient..

In addition to patient history, other information about doctors, medicines, and medical equipment is also maintained through computers. These information can be retrieved very easily and quickly.

Computer is also used in hospitals for diagnosing diseases.

Different medical tests depend upon the computerized devices such as laboratory test of blood.

Use of computer in hospitals is to scan the body of patient. A special scanner is used for this purpose. the CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography)

Its scanner passes rays over the patient.

It displays an image of bone and tissue

structure of patient on a computer screen.

This image is printed on the printer.

It is also store in computer for later use.

Computer is used in every field of life with great evolution.

In the field of Medicine, it also changes the whole procedure of treatment and saves the millions of lives.
