Biomedical Instrumentation: Technology and Applications

COMPREHENSIVE, DETAILED COVERAGE OF THE DESIGN, MAINTENANCE, AND OPERATION OF THE LATEST BIOMEDICAL DEVICES

Biomedical Instrumentation rigorously and clearly explains the latest developments and basic engineering principles of the entire spectrum of biomedical devices -- ranging from their physiological basis to diagnostic and therapeutic devices in medical imaging systems.

Written by an author with nearly four decades of experience in R&D, technology development, and education and training, this heavily illustrated resource details the fundamental principles of operation and the performance parameters of a wide variety of instruments, including:

• Recording and monitoring instruments
• Measurement and analysis techniques
• Therapeutic equipment
• Digital radiographic equipment
• Nuclear medical imaging
• Lithotriptors
• Anesthesia machines
• Ventilators
• Radiotherapy equipment
• Automated drug delivery systems
