Biomedical technology revolution: opportunities and challenges for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

During this 45-minute presentation, I have tried to describe my vision of the exciting future that awaits us. I have tried to impart my enthusiasm for the opportunities provided to us as surgeons by the advances in molecular biology and genetics, imaging, surgical technology and bioinformatics. Most of all, I hope I have transmitted my optimism for the future to our younger members. I think the following statement or observation by the great educator Margaret Mead accurately summarizes our current situation regarding the application of all this new knowledge that will become available to us as surgeons: 'We are now at the point where we must educate people (surgeons) in what nobody knew yesterday, and prepare in our schools (training programs) for what no one knows yet but what some people must know tomorrow.'

Becoming an effective clinical engineering or biomedical technology manager.

The BMET or CE Supervisor is a technical manager who is close to the actual work of a biomedical or clinical engineering department. The MPTI is a management training tool that has identified differences between the effective and less-effective technical managers. These behaviors or styles can be considered and applied to the clinical engineering and BMET work environments. Effective BMET or CE Supervisors have a management identity. They are both people-oriented and task-oriented. They are good problem-solvers, and will plan and structure the work tasks and environment. When the situation requires a change in plans, however, they can adapt to the new situation easily. If a decision needs to be made that affects the organization, they will check with higher management or peer managers. Less-effective BMET or CE Supervisors will make important decisions alone, without checking with others. They plan and structure tasks and the work environment, but they are less willing to change when faced with a new situation. They are not people-oriented, and their ability to assess social situations is low. Their need for achievement recognition is often too high. The work environment has an effect on how the competence of a manager is perceived. A "one-desk manager" in a small, one-person biomedical engineering department has more autonomy than a CE Supervisor in a large department. Working for a medical device manufacturing firm often requires a greater management identity. An engineering consultant is often a managing specialist, rather than a traditional manager.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Careers "Fact Sheets" for clinical engineering & biomedical technology.

Three Careers "Fact Sheets" include information on CE and BMET job titles, job descriptions, and certification. These materials are intended to aid in furthering professional recognition for Clinical Engineers and BMETs, and may be useful in communicating with Administration or Human Resources departments.

Ultrasonic biomedical technology; marketing versus clinical reality.

Clinical ultrasound imaging is the most frequently used imaging modality in the world accounting for almost 25% of all imaging studies performed. Hence, manufacturers of commercial ultrasound equipment are committing significant engineering resources to advance the technology behind the modality and to improve the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound imaging. Consequently, new imaging technologies are constantly being introduced to the market under a host of different trademarked names. Hence, this paper will review many of the recent advances in ultrasound imaging and try to differentiate between developments aimed at marketing and those providing real clinical improvements. In particular, we will describe the technologies behind concepts such as coded ultrasound imaging, real time spatial compounding, tissue harmonic imaging, extended field of view imaging as well as 3D and 4D (i.e., real time 3D) imaging. Some of the latest advances in blood flow imaging e.g., B-flow, advanced dynamic flow (ADF) and automatic optimization methods will also be described.
