15.1 6.1 Introduction
Today, computer techniques are penetrating into almost every branch of engineering in one form or another. Whether in engineering industries or biomedical systems, computers have ever-increasingly become essential tools and are critical prerequisites for research and application. In biomedical systems, computers are applied to generate a graphical representation of the human body or biological macromolecules, or to determine the shape of the cockpit of an aircraft or the replacement of an injured knee. It is obvious that large quantities of data will be input, stored, manipulated, and visualized in any of these cases, which makes computer application in biomedical systems more complicated than some other industrial systems, such as mechanical product design.
The use of computer in biomedical systems has come relatively late as large amounts of computing power and sophisticated graphics are required. The delay of computer application in biomedical engineering is...
