该领域的活动涉及广泛的问题：从健康和疾病（心血管，呼吸系统，骨科，神经系统，视觉等）的生理系统的分析和建模，到新设备的开发和改进的用于控制的生物仪器和监测生物过程，以开发和使用复杂的成像方法来探测生物结构和功能。罗格斯（Rutgers）已在这些领域拥有相当多的专业知识，尤其是在心血管，神经和骨科领域，并且放射学已经支持了影像学研究所需的许多临床基础设施，包括最先进的PET / CT，MRI ，CT和超声波扫描仪。在医疗设备和生物传感器领域，正在进行的项目包括无创监测，可穿戴传感器以及用于实时信号处理的新算
The activities of this area cover a broad spectrum of problems: from the analysis and modeling of physiologic systems in health and disease (cardiovascular, respiratory, orthopedic, neurological, vision, etc.), to the development of new devices and improved bioinstrumentation for controlling and monitoring biological processes, to the development and use of sophisticated imaging modalities to probe biological structure and function. Considerable expertise in these areas already exists at Rutgers especially in the cardiovascular, neurological and orthopaedic areas, and much of the clinical infrastructure necessary to support imaging research is already in place in Radiology, including state-of-the-art PET/CT, MRI, CT, and ultrasound scanners. In the area of medical devices and biosensors, undergoing projects are on noninvasive monitoring, wearable sensors, and new algorithms for real-time signal processing. In the broad field of minimally invasive therapy, investigators are applying a man-machine systems approach and intelligent interface techniques to generate new technologies to improve surgeon-patient interaction, including miniaturization of tools, ergonomic steerable devices with tactile and visual feedback, 3-D roadmaps for navigation, and robotic drills for orthopedic and other types of surgery.
