Biomedical applications for frequency filters

Click For Summary
Biomedical applications for frequency filters include the use of low pass filters to eliminate high-frequency noise in signals, such as those from EKG, EMG, and EEG sensors. High pass filters can be utilized to remove low-frequency interference, while band pass filters are essential for isolating specific frequency ranges relevant to particular physiological signals. Band stop filters are effective in eliminating specific unwanted frequencies, such as power line interference. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding signal bandwidths and the types of noise associated with various biomedical sensors to determine the most effective filtering strategies. Overall, frequency filters play a crucial role in enhancing the clarity and accuracy of biomedical signal monitoring.

Filtering high frequency noise is definitely a valid use. Which filter type(s) could be used for that?

What are typical biomedical monitoring applications? What are typical biomedical sensors? What types (and frequency) signals do each monitor?
 
Hi,

I asked this question on the Electronics board but was asked to post it here... It is not really a homework question but a general enquiry.. I am barely one year into my course and have no idea on biomedical applications for filters. I searched on Google but can't find anything much except preview abstracts from papers (pay to read).. so I really need help on this, it is not really a major component but it helps to be prepared because this area is not mentioned in any of my textbooks. Thanks!
 
any help?

When you read about various sensor modalities, like EKG (EGC), EMG, EEG, Ultrasonic imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, etc., what signal bandwidths are discussed? What filtering ramifications do you see coming from that...?


EDIT -- And what are some common sources of noise for each of those sensors? What kind of filtering would be most effective given the signal and noise characteristics?
