The IFMBE Proceedings Book Series is an official publication of the International
Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE). The series gathers
the proceedings of various international conferences, which are either organized or
endorsed by the Federation. Books published in this series report on cutting-edge
findings and provide an informative survey on the most challenging topics and
advances in the fields of medicine, biology, clinical engineering, and biophysics.
   The series aims at disseminating high quality scientific information, encouraging
both basic and applied research, and promoting world-wide collaboration between
researchers and practitioners in the field of Medical and Biological Engineering.
   Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Diagnostic Imaging, Image Processing, Biomedical Signal Processing
• Modeling and Simulation, Biomechanics
• Biomaterials, Cellular and Tissue Engineering
• Information and Communication in Medicine, Telemedicine and e-Health
• Instrumentation and Clinical Engineering

Preface

The 7th “Conference on Advancements of Medicine and Health Care through
Technology” – MediTech 2020 took place in Cluj-Napoca in October 13th–15th,
2020 was and held online.
   The MediTech conferences are part of a series of conferences organized by the
“Romanian National Society for Medical Engineering and Biological
Technology” under the auspices of the “International Federation for Medical and
Biological Engineering,” which take place every two years, on even years, in
Cluj-Napoca, Romania, being one of the most important scientific events in the
region, in this field.
   The MediTech 2020 conference was co-organized by representatives of the
academic and medical environment, namely the Technical University of
Cluj-Napoca, the “Iuliu Haţieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy of
Cluj-Napoca and “Dr. Constantin Papilian” Military Emergency Hospital
Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was attended by over 75 guests from Romania and
abroad, who presented their latest research results in medical and technical uni-
versities, in clinics and hospitals, or from the field of clinical engineering and
medical devices.
   We were honored to have Kang-Ping Lin, Distinguished Professor, at the
Chung-Yuan Christian University, Taiwan, and IFMBE Secretary-General attend
our conference for the third time in a row and delivered a speech during the opening
ceremony. We were also honored to welcome Dr. Christoph Baumann, Editorial
Director, Springer Nature, among our guests.
   We proved once again that this conference is a good opportunity for all the
participants from the academic, technical and medical fields to exchange ideas,
knowledge and achievements in the extremely important field of medical
engineering.
   I would especially like to thank Distinguished Professor Ratko Magjarevic, Vice
President of IFMBE, for his support regarding the publication of the conference’s
papers and for his kind words regarding our conference, organized by the Romanian
National Society for Medical Engineering and Biological Technology, the technical
and medical universities and a renowned hospital unit.

                                                                                  v

  In the end, we would like to kindly thank all the participants, speakers, aca-
demics, researchers, doctors, sponsors and members of the scientific and organizing
committees for their hard work and dedication.
