Or a little university that has that as a specialty. Worcester
Polytechnic in Massachusetts had that when I was there (not that I was in
that program).

B.S. or lower? No. But for M.S. or Ph.D., there are many "Bioengineering"
programs which essentially allow individuals to design their own curricula,
mixing up whatever courses that person finds pertinent to their interests.
There are possible pitfalls: some courses might catalog listings, rarely ever
offered in reality; and once you're done, you will want that blend to be
something that an employer (or you, if you want to start your own business)
will find useful.
Probably takes a fairly major university to have what you're looking for.
Hope that helps!

One of the universities I attended had a degree in Medical Imaging,
which covers X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, PET et cetera.
Now there is a seperate discipline, which I would guess is called
"biomedical signal processing" that covers 1D signals such as heartbeat,
brain waves, eye and muscle activity. Do many colleges offer this as a
specialist degree?
