Question
Answer
Bioinstrumentation   Transduction and measurement of physiological quantities  
🗑
Diagnostic   converts information about living system into a form humans can perceive  
🗑
Example of Diagnostic Instrument   stethoscope  
🗑
Therapeutic   Used to arrest or control a physiological process  
🗑
Example of therapeutic device   pacemaker  
🗑
Assistive   Make up for diminished or lost function  
🗑
Example of Assistive device   Hearing Aid  
🗑
Measurand   physical quantity, property or condition being measured.  
🗑
Examples of Measurands   voltage, current, impedance, pressure, flow, displacement, temperature, chemistry  
🗑
One Bioinstrumentation challenge   finding a transduceable property of the event that distinguishes it from other events/substances  
🗑
Transducers   convert energy from one form to another  
🗑
Transducer Considerations   must not alter event being measured, minimally invasive, external power supply,amplitude linearity/ amplitude range, transducer output, adequate frequency response, non biologically reactive,  
🗑
Signal Conditioner   operates on signal produced by transducer  
🗑
Operations of Signal Conditioner   amplify, filter, impedance match (minimize loading reflection), digitize, compensate for undesirable transducer characteristics (non-linearity)  
🗑
Output Objective   Output or convey information in form that can be understood by human senses, reduce noise  
🗑
Output Objective Types   visual, auditory, tactile  
🗑
Special Requirements for Implantable Devices   power supply, size, computational capacity, biological reacitivity, communication with outside world  
🗑
Constraints for Bioinstrumentation design   measured quantities vary with time (nonstationary), patient to patient variation, complex interactions with physiological system (hard to control for), safety, corrosive environments  
🗑
Examples of Automated Diagnosis   Implantable devices, emergency personnel, monitoring outside of clinic, typically computer based (CAD).  
🗑
Automated Detection and Diagnosis   Challenge: Identify the unique features that separate one population (disease) from another. Reality- there are always trade-offs  
🗑
Typical features of Automated Diagnosis   amplitude (not good indicator), slopes (pretty good), time intervals (important), sequence of events, shapes (sequence of slopes, lines and curves).  
🗑
Development of Automated Detection Schemes   Training set- typical and atypical examples of population to be classified, set thresholds for measures  
🗑
Test Set   typical and atypical examples, tester blinded, schemes/algorithms evaluated for performance  
🗑
Sensitivity   when condition is truly present, can you detect it?  
🗑
Specificity   When you detect, are you correct?, is the condition really present?  
🗑
Accuracy   combination of specificity and sensitivity  
🗑
True Positive   Actual positive, Tested positive  
🗑
False Positive   Actually negative, tested positve Type I error/ misdiagnosis  
🗑
True Negative   Actually negative, tested negative  
🗑
False Negative   Actually positive, tested negative Type II error, missing the diagnosis)  
🗑
Sensitivity Equation   TP/(FN+TP)  
🗑
Specificity Equation   TN/(TN+FP)  
🗑
Accuracy Equation   (TP+TN)/(TP+FP+FN+TN)  
🗑
digital signal   Means voltage level is digitized, set number of data points in time  
🗑
EMG   electrical signal [voltage] that comes from muscle [myo] (electromyogram- used by surgeons, doctors, physical trainers, physical therapists to determine whether muscle is working (nerve conduction study)  
🗑
action potential   is when aceytocholine moves down charge of muscle  
🗑
central Difference Formula:   xi+1-xi-1 ---------- 2Δt  
🗑
Trapezoid Rule   {xi+xi+1}Δt/2  
🗑
d(sin ax)/dx   a cos ax  
🗑
∫(cos ax)dx   1/a sin ax  
🗑
Aliasing-   acquiring data with incorrect frequency content where higher frequency shows up as lower frequency  
🗑
Example of Aliasing   10Hz looks like 1Hz  
🗑
Nyquist Criteria   sample at least 2 times the highest frequency in the signal  
🗑
Numerical Nyquist Criteria   FN=2(highest frequency)  
🗑
Amplitude Resolution   n=number of bits,# of levels = 2n , Higher bits= Higher resolution  
🗑
Gain   the constant that the input signal is multiplied by by in order to amplify your output  
🗑
Analog signal   is continuous existing over infinite number of intervals over duration of data  
🗑
Sampling Frequency Fs   dictates time interval between data points, if too low digital signal will poorly approximate, aliasing may occur. If too high digital signal file may be excessively large  
🗑
Fast Fourier Transform FFT   indicate frequencies of different sine waves, also indicates power of frequency (how much influence the sine wave with that frequency has on the signal)  
🗑
Resolution   R/2n=Resolution  
🗑
QRS Complex   Ventricular Contraction, atrial repolarization  
🗑
Systolic Blood Pressure   Higher Number in mmHg, amount of force driving the flow of blood when the heart contracts, left ventricle to aorta, first whooshing, increases with exercise  
🗑
Diastolic Blood Pressure-   Lower Number, force that drives the flow of blood when heart is relaxed, whooshing ends  
🗑
Heart Rate   (Chart Speed*seconds/min)/ R-R Spacing  
🗑
Normal electrical axis= 59°   deviations help physicians diagnose problems. It can indicate blocks in electrical conduction of the heart, enlarged heart muscle and difficulties with high blood pressure.  
🗑
Differences between rest and exercise?   During exercise R-R spacing change, heart contracts more often, requires more blood, pumps more often, HR increases, intervals stay the same but frequencies of waveforms increase, no difference in electrical axis because it measures general direction  
🗑
Maximum Voluntary Ventilation MVV-   pulmonary function test that combines volume and flow rates to acess overall pulmonary ventilation  
🗑
