Noise Filtering in Medical Machines

(1/1)

tlhsglm:
Hi fellows,

Noise is unwanted for measurement machines most of the time.And most of the time we are doing filtering process to a acceptible range that generally smooths our graphic. But in medical machines i think that range is very very tiny and cant let noise to achive a test results or a robotic arm's motor that works in someones brain. It's really a serius job, you cant just let noise to act a motor when a robotic arm inside of a human.

So how they are filtering the noise? I googled but there is no topic about it, maybe my key point was incorrect. Do you know how they do it or can you give me traces?

MuhScopeBroke:
There are dozens of ways to filter noise, each for different environments/types of noise. For medical devices its all about mitigating internal noise as much as possible and designing a circuit that can filter out or recognize external noise.

tggzzz:
Old aphorism: the soultion to all signal processing problems is to integrate for longer.

Given white noise, the best results are achieved by a "matched filter", i.e. one that is tuned to the specific signal of interest.

If, on the other hand you are thinking of preventing noise being mixed with the signal, then that requires a totally different set of techniques.
