As part of the scientific and applied activities that the Biomedical Engineering Department at the College of Engineering, Al-Mustaqbal University, is keen to conduct, and in line with the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (Quality Education) to enhance the practical skills of its students, the department organized a field visit for fifth-year students to Dr. Jawdat Al-Rikabi's Radiology Clinic. The visit was supervised by Assistant Lecturer Maher Rahman Abdul-Amir and Engineer Zainab Ali Jabr.
During the visit, the students observed the clinic's standard operating procedures. They learned about the medical intranet system used for managing patient data, in addition to a detailed explanation of the ultrasound machine's operation and its clinical applications. The students also witnessed a live, hands-on examination of a patient using an advanced spiral CT scanner (128 slices and a double X-ray tube), with an explanation of its technical specifications, the examination procedure, and the mechanism for generating tomographic images from different anatomical orientations.
This visit reflects the department's commitment to bridging the gap between theory and practice, developing students' skills in medical imaging technologies, and meeting the academic accreditation requirements for the Biomedical Engineering program. It also contributes to achieving the third Sustainable Development Goal (good health and well-being) by promoting medical technical knowledge, in addition to achieving the fourth goal (quality education) by providing high-quality applied education that enhances students' readiness for the labor market.
