Recent topics include: electrosurgery, metabolic measurement technology, magnetoencephalography (MEG) imaging, patient safety, radiotherapy, CT imaging, whole blood analysis, anesthesia technology and rehabilitation technologies. The course focuses on 1) the scientific principles underlying the clinical instrumentation, 2) the clinical applications of the technologies reviewed, and 3) merits and limitations of current technology. Lectures are given by faculty and clinical scientists who are experts in their respective areas. All lectures will take place in the teaching hospitals and may include tours of various instrumentation suites, laboratories, or patient care areas. Students are evaluated based on a midterm and a final exam.
