27-10-2025
The Chapidze Emergency Cardiology Center, as a humanitarian aid, donated a Japanese-made Toshiba ultrasound machine - Core Vision (Toshiba) to the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems of the Georgian Technical University.
The ultrasound machine was placed in the Medical Equipment Quality Control Laboratory of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, in the Zhuli Shartava Information Technologies Educational-Scientific-Expert Laboratory Complex of the University. The new equipment was installed in the university laboratory with the direct participation of the Head of the Biomedical Engineering and Energy Department of the Chapidze Emergency Cardiology Center, Herbert Volobuev.
As Professor Irine Gotsiridze, Head of the GTU English-Language Biomedical Engineering Program and the University Center for International Accreditation, notes, the strengthening of the teaching and research laboratory with new medical-technical equipment creates an additional opportunity for students of the biomedical engineering educational program to master modern methods of quality control of medical equipment in a university environment.
“The Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems of the Georgian Technical University trains students in Georgian and English-language programs, both at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. The English-language bachelor’s program in biomedical engineering has American international ABET accreditation. The department operates a medical equipment quality control laboratory, provided with equipment from the leading American company, Fluke. Our goal is to train highly qualified specialists in the field of biomedical engineering, to involve young people in scientific research and engineering, and to provide practical work. In addition, they must be able to calibrate and certify medical equipment, conduct quality control expertise, issue appropriate conclusions and recommendations, and most importantly, provide expert services to the hospital sector and medical diagnostic centers. In this regard, strengthening the university laboratory with new medical equipment will give our students even more opportunities to master modern methods of quality control of medical equipment on the spot during the learning process. The Japanese-made Core Vision ultrasound machine, which is equipped with modern TOSHIBA technologies, donated by the partner organization - Chapidze Emergency Cardiology Center, will provide the university with many-sided assistance in educating a new generation of professionals. On behalf of the Georgian Technical University, Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems, we would like to thank the Chapidze Emergency Cardiology Center,” noted Irine Gotsiridze.
