Characterizing their work as a "still photo of a swiftly moving, constantly shaping cloud," Moore (mechanical engineering, Florida International U.) and Zouridakis (director, Biomedical Imaging Lab, U. of Houston) offer biomedical engineering students an overview of the field. Thirty-two chapters are organized under such topic headings as basic clinical measurements, imaging techniques, biological assays, genetic and tissue engineering, interventional disease treatment, ambulatory adaptations, recovery, and alternative and emerging techniques.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
Concise yet comprehensive, this handbook illuminates the equipment, devices, and techniques used in modern medicine to diagnose, treat, and monitor human illnesses. With topics ranging from the basic procedures like blood pressure measurement to cutting-edge imaging equipment, biological tests, and genetic engineering, the editors have conceived and organized the handbook to guide readers smoothly from simple procedures to the more sophisticated and complex. Each section begins with a description of the technique and its technical considerations, then explores its use according to its applications and relevant body systems.
