Sponsored by The Head of the Biomedical Engineering Department, Professor Dr. Wisam Kazem Hamdan,

a specialized workshop entitled "Medical Endoscopes" was held.

Presented by Engineer (Walid Khalid Hashem) and Engineer (Mustafa Rasheed), and Engineer (Ibrahim Nabil) - Biomedical Engineering from Al-Itqan Medical Devices Company, on Thursday, the 15th of February 2024, at 9:30 AM in Al-Quds Hall in the department.

The workshop was inaugurated in the presence of both the esteemed scientific and administrative assistants, the teaching staff, department students, and a number of honorable visitors.

The workshop addressed the role of medical endoscopes, which are flexible tubes with a bendable end containing a camera, used by doctors to examine various parts of the human body through natural openings without the need for surgical incisions in the skin. Medical endoscopes can be used to examine the digestive system and other organs depending on the patient's condition and the location of the surgical procedure.

The workshop included a detailed explanation of the operation methods and functions of several advanced types of endoscopes, their usage methods, and their essential role in improving surgical procedures in terms of time, risk avoidance, complications prevention, and continuous patient data retention.

The role of endoscopes is crucial as they are flexible and provide a source of illumination with a small camera, allowing doctors to obtain a good view of the lining of the digestive tract. Doctors can observe areas of irritation, ulcers, inflammation, and abnormal tissue growth. Some endoscopes have probes at their ends for imaging with echo planar imaging. The images obtained from these probes may show details that echo planar imaging probes outside the skin cannot display.

Mr. Head of the Department emphasized that the workshop, in addition to its specialized importance, also confirms the university's and the department's direction in linking the department's outputs with the job market, as the lecturers are graduates of the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Technology. This confirms the importance of this specialization in both the public and private sectors.

The workshop concluded with honoring the lecturers by  Ph. Dr. Jannan Star Khushan - the scientific assistant of the Biomedical Engineering Department, who expressed her gratitude to the engineers for conducting the specialized workshop and to all the participants in organizing the workshop from the organizing team and the attending students.

The Biomedical Engineering Department held an executive workshop for first-year students

Titled “Using the Bologna Platform”

Delivered by Asst.Lec. Marwa Gamal and Asst.Lec. Rand Ahmed, where the workshop dealt with implementing how to deal with the platform, explaining its features, and urging students to commit to attending and taking exams while continuing to follow the platform.

All of the teachers from the Biomedical Engineering Department participated

Prof. Dr. Jinan Star Khashan
Ph.Dr. Awfa Abdul Rasoul
Prof. Dr. Marwan Nafi Ali

In teaching specialized subjects in biomaterials engineering to doctoral students in the specialty of dentistry at the University of Baghdad
This joint cooperation between the medical specialties at the University of Baghdad and the department is intended to achieve fruitful cooperation between institutions of higher education and scientific research, and to increase joint cooperation in the educational process to expand the knowledge base and benefit from scientific expertise with various distinguished scientific bodies.

It seeks to provide the best opportunities to open horizons of scientific cooperation and university work that aims to serve university students in scientific fields.
