MEDITEC: Medical Engineering (BMED), a bibliographic database relating to scientific and economic aspects of medical engineering is now on DataStar.

Content

70% of this database is in English with additional search terms in German; 30% of the database is in German with additional search terms in English.

The citations in BMED contain the following information:

• biomedical measurements (recording, plotting, processing, and evaluation of physiological parameters)
  
  
• medical imaging (e.g. computed tomography - CT, magnetic resonance imaging - MRI)
  
  
• medical instruments for diagnostic and therapeutic applications (electro-medicine, radiological, nuclear and ultrasonic medicine, intensive care)
  
  
• clinical laboratory technology and dental technology
  
  
• optometry and ophthalmological instruments
  
  
• clinical engineering, prostheses and rehabilitation engineering
  
  
• general aspects of medical engineering; medicine, biophysicals, biomechanics, biochemistry, pharmaceutical technology.

The database is updated weekly, contains information from 1986 onwards and covers international literature from Eastern and Western Europe and Asia on medical engineering from over 600 journals. It also includes conference papers, books, reports, and dissertations.
