Medical advancements

There have been many technological advancements in the health care field. Ultrasounds have played a major role in these advancements. Many people have heard of an ultrasound or even undergone an exam themselves. Medical ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inner body. Ultrasounds give health care professionals a visual of tissues. Sonographers are the skilled medical technicians trained to conduct ultrasounds. “A technician (sonographer) trained in ultrasound

Though underappreciated, advancements in medical technology are imperative to the success of the human race as a whole. For instance, some of the most common medical procedures such as amputation, surgeries, the modern ambulance, and anesthesia inhalers were created and popularized during the United States Civil War (Rowe). Both during the civil war and currently, the advancements decrease death tolls while making modern and future treatments safer, faster, and overall more efficient. They have also

did not have this medical technology readily available to us?  This is the reality of a world without Biomedical Engineering.  The Imperial College of London defines Biomedical Engineering as “a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with biomedical sciences and clinical practice” (Reyes-Guerra).  In today’s society, there are new advancements being made in technology

has also provided major advancements in understanding and treating conditions. The California Biomedical Research Association states that virtually every medical breakthrough in the last 100 years has resulted directly from experimenting and researching on animals (1). Some see animal testing as cruel and inhumane. However, others see animals as a chance to make improvements in today’s society. Animal testing allows humans to make advancements, not only in the medical field, but also in everyday
