BME 201 Foundations of BME Fall 2017 Global Considerations Overview It is important to understand that our work as engineers involves solutions to problems that are not only technically complex, but also exist in a complicated world. In particular, our designs must take into account the global, economic, environmental, and societal context in which they are developed and implemented. In this assignment, we will explore these facets with respect to a given medical device. Details Compose a document that discusses the broad considerations involved with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Your paper should address the following areas (1-2 paragraphs per topic): • Societal o How does the device affect society (positively, negatively, major benefit)? o Does the device impact all members of society, or only certain populations? o Is the developed world (e.g., U.S.) affected the same as the developing world (e.g., Guatemala). • Environmental o Does the device impact the environment? o Consider the materials/components used in the device along with its eventual disposal, energy consumption, etc. • Economics o What is the cost associated with the device? o Consider the cost of the device as well as the cost per procedure. o What is the economic impact of lives saved and/or improved due to this device? • Sustainability o What is the device lifetime? o Does it require maintenance? • Safety o Is the device safe for users (physicians, patients, etc.) ? o What are some potential safety problems the device poses? In addition to the content described above, your work will be assessed along the dimensions of quality of writing and grammar. Use the IEEE format for your references (both the in-text citations and for preparing your list of references at the end of the paper). Due Date Friday, October 13.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is a medical examination test that uses energy wave’s transmission to perform body
scanning and later translate and interpret the results for treatment. However, MRI has various
impacts on different levels as discussed below.
Environmental
There have been several controversial discussions about the effects of the MRI devices
on the environment. It is mainly because of the clashing allegations about the part that the
electromagnetic field in the development of the MRI negatively impacts the environment. It is
also related to various abnormalities to human beings. Most of the devices emit dangerous
wastes that have to be handled carefully lest they cause more harm than intended. Some of the
MRI scanners have an intense concentration of silver of more than 8,000 parts per million, and
this is considered a hazardous waste. If they are exposed anywhere in drainage or carelessly in a
pit, the degradation can flow to rivers and farms affecting the immediate environment.
It is evident that the invention of the MRI has changed the shape of the medical field and
has helped many in the diagnosis of complicated diseases but it has enormous costs. They use an
enormous amount of energy and have led to depletion of helium which is a rare resource in the
world. The amount of energy used keeps growing because of the mount...
