Biomedical Engineering

Since 1999, the Biomedicine research teams in the Faculty of Engineering have acquired more than HK$35 million form Hong Kong Research Grants Council and Innovation and Technology Fund in related research areas. Highly functional prototypes including virtual bronchoscopy, virtual acupuncture, virtual arthroscopy, as well as a web-based scoliosis clinical multimedia database have been developed in clinical use at Prince of Wales Hospital. There is also a very strong and productive collaboration among the engineering and medicine faculties at CUHK in the area of biomedical engineering and computer assisted medicine.
