A Prospective Multi-Institutional Study of the Reproducibility of fMRI: A Preliminary Report From the biomedical Informatics Research Network: Functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI has significantly contributed to understanding both normal and diseased human brains. Variability often exists in the magnitude, spatial distribution, and statistical significance of the resulting fMRI maps due to differences in equipment and other site-specific differences. In addition, because of costly imaging, demanding tasks, and...; Tags: Harvard University, biomedical, imaging; White papers
Portfolio Management Guides Product Development for biomedical Technology Leader: A $300M developer of biomedical research technology was struggling to identify a long-term product road map that would raise company revenues to $1B.

Application of Sophisticated Production Metrology and Nanometrology for Quality Control in Bio-Engineering: Currently biomedical procedures are skill based to a wide extent and clinician's performance in this wide field of science is considerably variable. There are no scientific methods available to the biomedical and dental clinicians for measurement and feedback of the skill-based activities although some limited rules do exist to assist...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Slovak Academy of Sciences, clinician, biomedical, QA, quality control, performance; White papers 2005-06-13
Statistical Methods in biomedical Research and Measurement Science: This paper concentrates on few statistical methods that are widely used in the analysis of clinical trials and clinical studies and are also used in theory of measurement science. Biostatistics is essentially statistics. It concerns the development of statistical methods and plays a key role in design and analysis of...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Slovak Academy of Sciences, biomedical, clinical trial, public health, analysis, theory; White papers 2005-06-09
Bioterrorism Countermeasure Development: Issues in Patents and Homeland Security: This report explores the role of patents in encouraging the development and commercialization of new inventions and discusses the relationships between patent ownership and the generation of biomedical products. However, the grant of a patent on a pharmaceutical does not permit marketing of the product without the approval of the...; Tags: Federal government, HEALTHCARE, FDA, biomedical, patent, bioterrorism, marketing, homeland security, R&D, incentive, industry; White papers 2005-05-06
Do biomedical Models of Illness Make for Good Healthcare Systems?: Cultural and professional models of illness influence decisions on individual patients and delivery of health care. The biomedical model of illness, which has dominated health care for the past century, cannot fully explain many forms of illness. This failure stems partly from three assumptions: all illness has a single underlying...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Vertical industries, Benefits, biomedical, health care, patient; White papers 2004-12-01
Working in a Virtual World - Medical Product Engineers Innovate , Cut Costs and Manage Risk: Time-consuming and cost-prohibitive physical testing is often incapable of providing complete knowledge of product performance, e.g. how it works and responds in real-life applications. Engineers of such biomedical devices as implantable surgical devices, prostheses, orthopedics, dental implants, artificial limbs and organs have discovered virtual product development VPD processes and tools,...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Strategy, Business Briefings, medical product, biomedical, product development, patient, knowledge, benefit, tool; White papers 2004-09-17
Doublet Method for Very Fast Autocoding: Autocoding or automatic concept indexing occurs when a software program extracts terms contained within text and maps them to a standard list of concepts contained in a nomenclature. The purpose of autocoding is to provide a way of organizing large documents by the concepts represented in the text. Because textual...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Engineering, BioMed Central, biomedical, algorithm, software; White papers 2004-09-15
Sterilization of Medical Devices: This paper focuses on different medical devices sterilization processes. Sterilization processes act on microorganisms in a chemical or physical way. The macromolecules of biomedical polymers can be attacked by the same mechanisms, and different forms of sterilization may result in hydrolysis, oxidation, softening, melting, chain scission, and depolymerization. Research has...; Tags: HEALTHCARE, Business Briefings, biomedical, medical device, polymer; White papers 2004-08-10
