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?
