ANALYSIS.
- CAD CONCEPT
 ADVANTAGES OF USING THE APPLICATION OF COMPUTERS TO
PROCESS AND ANALYSE BIOMEDICAL SIGNALS

1.Humans are highly skilled and fast in the analysis of visual pattens and waveforms, but are
slow in arithmetic operations.

2. Humans could be affected by

3. Analysis by humans is usually

4. Analysis by humans is subject to

Therefore
1. Online, real-time analysis of biomedical signals is feasible with computers.
2. Quantitative analysis becomes possible by the application of computers to biomedical signals.

 DIFFICULTIES WITH BIOMEDICAL SIGNALS
1. Accessibility of the variables to measurement.
E.g
2.Variability of the signal source.
E.g.

3. Physiological artifacts and interference.

4. Energy limitations.

5. Patient safety.
