⚫️ What is meant by medical equipment?
Medical equipment refers to all devices, tools and accessories that are used in medical science. These devices can be hardware or even software and can be placed in the form of systems available to the doctor or the patient. That is why many tools and machines used in medicine (which are not included in the group of drugs) can be considered as medical equipment.
⚫️ History of Medical Equipment:

At that time, diagnosing and treating patients with simple equipment It could be that it might not meet the needs of patients in many cases.
But especially in the last few decades, gradually with the progress of our science, we see that advanced equipment is being built and used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (which have the most sophisticated technologies and are based on modern science).
as an example, we can mention laser equipment that has been able to eliminate the need for surgery in many applications today.
⚫️ Classification of medical equipment
The high variety of equipment used for prevention, diagnosis, control and treatment of patients is such that hours of time are needed to review They will be.

Diagnostic tools can be simple or very complex. That is why a different amount may be needed to buy each of them. A number of simple tools that are used for examination by the doctor are actually diagnostic tools that do not cost much. But the advanced equipment used in radiation medicine or nuclear medicine uses technologies that make them complicated and very expensive to manufacture.
The MRI machine is also one of the very important diagnostic tools that specialized medical centers have at their disposal. The cost required to buy these equipments is high and they are usually not available in small medical centers.
