Abstract

Metrology is the science of measurements. With critical importance in medicine and healthcare, frequent confusion in terms and definitions affects communications or understanding of either health personnel or manufacturer and engineer instructions and limitations when using devices. In this review, the author presents terms defined by the International Bureau of Weight and Measurements regarding quantities and units, measurements, devices for measurements, properties of measurement devices, and measurement standards. Understanding metrological concepts and recognizing limitations and constraints ensure proper use in health devices. Measurements in health areas are not ubiquitous. An erroneous measurement can expose patients, and therefore, it is crucial to understand the importance of measures. On the engineering side, manufacturing and quality control is an important issue due the applications of its devices and a common understanding of vocabulary should be effective. In this review, metrology terms will be presented, and non-invasive techniques to measure are included.
