"The course includes an overview of the field of computers in medicine, including a historical review of the evolution of the technologies important to this field. Then we provide a traditional
review of signal conversion techniques and digital signal acquisition, and also the principles of digital signal processing found in most texts on this subject. The intent is to get the students involved in the design process as quickly as possible with minimal reliance on proving the theorems that form the foundation of the techniques. Furthermore, we present some samples of digital signal processing techniques used in biomedical instruments. At last we give a summary of the emerging integrated circuit technologies for digital signal processing with a look to the trends in this field for the future.
