A review of systems (ROS), also called a systems enquiry or systems review, is a technique used by healthcare providers for eliciting a medical history from a patient. It is often structured as a component of an admission note covering the organ systems, with a focus upon the subjective symptoms perceived by the patient (as opposed to the objective signs perceived by the clinician). Along with the physical examination, it can be particularly useful in identifying conditions that do not have precise diagnostic tests

Sclerosis (from Greek σκληρός sklērós, "hard") is the stiffening of a tissue or anatomical feature, usually caused by a replacement of the normal organ-specific tissue with connective tissue. The structure may be said to have undergone sclerotic changes or display sclerotic lesions, which refers to the process of sclerosis. Common medical conditions whose pathology involves sclerosis include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neurone disease—a progressive, incurable, usually fatal disease of motor neurons

Bio-inspired photonics or bio-inspired optical materials are the application of biomimicry (the use of natural models, systems, and elements for human innovations) to the field of photonics (the science and application of light generation, detection, and manipulation). This differs slightly from biophotonics which is the study and manipulation of light to observe its interactions with biology. One area that inspiration may be drawn from is structural color, which allows color to appear as a result of the detailed material structure

A Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is a kind of bachelor's degree typically conferred after a four-year undergraduate course of study in biomedical engineering (BME). The degree itself is largely equivalent to a Bachelor of Science and many institutions conferring degrees in the fields of biomedical engineering and bioengineering do not append the field to the degree itself. Courses of study in BME are also extremely diverse as the field itself is relatively new and developing

Diffeomorphometry is the metric study of imagery, shape and form in the discipline of computational anatomy (CA) in medical imaging. The study of images in computational anatomy rely on high-dimensional diffeomorphism groups φ ∈ Diff V {\displaystyle \varphi \in \operatorname {Diff} _{V}} which generate orbits of the form I ≐ { φ ⋅ I ∣ φ ∈ Diff V } {\displaystyle {\mathcal {I}}\doteq \{\varphi \cdot I\mid \varphi \in \operatorname {Diff} _{V}\}} , in which images I ∈ I {\displaystyle I\in {\mathcal {I}}} can be dense scalar magnetic resonance or computed axial tomography images. For deformable shapes these are the collection of manifolds M ≐ { φ ⋅ M ∣ φ ∈ Diff V } {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}\doteq \{\varphi \cdot M\mid \varphi \in \operatorname {Diff} _{V}\}} , points, curves and surfaces
