Biomedical Engineering: Integrating Medicine and Technology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781632418333)

The application of engineering principles and design to biology and medicine for applications in healthcare is under the scope of biomedical engineering. The development and management of medical equipment within industry standards is also an important focus of this field. Research in biomedical engineering spans a number of significant fields, from bioinformatics, biomechanics and biomedical optics to genetic engineering, neural engineering and clinical engineering. Prominent biomedical engineering applications include among others, the development of biocompatible prostheses, regenerative tissue growth technology, imaging methodologies and therapeutic biologicals. Many medical devices have also been developed owing to research in biomedical engineering, such as dialysis machines, corrective lenses, ocular prosthetics, artificial organs, implants, pacemakers, etc. Medical imaging technologies such as MRI, PET, PET-CT, X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, electron microscopy, etc. have been developed due to research in biomedical engineering. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in biomedical engineering. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. It is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
