Medical measuring instruments are used:

- in the diagnosis of diseases and metered therapeutic effects.

X-ray.

High-energy.

Today, the development of healthcare largely depends on the perfection of measurement methods.

The tasks of improving measurements and their accuracy are solved by metrology.

Modern metrology is a field of physics based on experiments of the highest accuracy.

With its help, the reference base of the country is being created and constantly improved.

Laboratory equipment.

Medical devices differ from conventional measuring equipment.

The measurements themselves on a living organism are unusual and require special techniques.

Measurement of brain readings.

The doctor uses X-ray and radiography to determine the boundaries of the heart sac in two patients.

The doctor examines the size of the heart on an X-ray.

The information content of the cardiogram depends on the accuracy of determining the boundaries of the heart.

The measurement results may change under the influence of the measuring instruments themselves.

Measurement of the volume and rhythm of breathing.

Measurements on the human body in space, while the information is transmitted over considerable distances.

Such remote measurements or telemetry are increasingly being used in medical practice.

The Soviet telemetry complex "Volna" allows the doctor to observe the patient at a distance, by phone.

A special cardiometer converts the electrical potentials taken from the patient's body into sound signals that are transmitted to the microphone of the telephone.

At the central point, these signals are converted into a familiar cardiogram.

Most measurements in medicine are direct.

The doctor measures the size of a newborn baby.

Anthropometric measurements of a person.

Direct measurements are important in the preparation of medicines.

Equipment for the manufacture of medicines.

Measurement of hearing acuity.

Vision check.

The girl brings a prescription for glasses to the workshop.

The specialist checks and issues the necessary glasses.

In cases where direct measurements are not possible, the required parameter is determined through other direct measurements associated with it.

Such measurements are called indirect.

Joint measurements provide the most complete medical information.

Examination of an athlete on an ergometric installation.

Comparing the measurement data of breathing parameters, the gas composition of exhaled air and running speed, doctors can conclude about the impact of loads on this organism.

When treating with metered loads, for example on a bicycle ergometer, doctors measure a number of values for careful monitoring of the functional state.

Cardiogram.

Joint measurements have acquired particular importance during complex surgical interventions.

Modern medical measuring devices can synchronously measure up to 12 important parameters of the body.

This information is summarized by the computing device and displayed in the form that the doctor needs to make a quick and correct decision.

The main task of metrological support is to fully equip medical institutions with measuring equipment, monitor and maintain metrological characteristics.
