Description
This sourcebook offers all the information you need to understand and design biomedical instruments. Biomedical Instruments contains extensive
analysis of signal processing electronic design for medical instruments, in-depth descriptions of design methods for medical transducers,
and an introduction to medical imaging and tomographic algorithms. Transducers covered include variable R, L, and C, piezoelectric, electrodynamic
and magnetostrictive, force balance, and fiber optic. Operational amplifiers, analog filters, biotelemetry, discriminators, phase-locked
loops, and microprocessors are covered in a comprehensive section on circuitry. Exercises and problems accompany each chapter of the
text.
This is the first paragraph of the preface...either the paragraph above, or this paragraph can be used for the blurb_
From the
Preface:
The book aims at (a) presenting a physical explanation for the behavior of various transducer, (b) developing the mathematical
theory applicable to these transducers, and (c) discussing the practical design of biomedical instruments. Our hope is that the book
will serve as a text for biomedical engineering students who will be engaged in the design of instruments, as a reference book for medical
instrument designers, and as a source of ideas for the large numbers of biomedical research workers who, at one time or another, must
build a gadget to implement their research. Numerous examples of medical instrument design are presented in order to clarify the mathematical
analyses.
Audience
Biomedical engineers, research workers, and seniors and graduate students in electronics engineering.
