This well-established text describes the principles, applications and design of the medical instrumentation most commonly used in hospitals. Because equipment changes with time, the authors stress fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment. They avoid detailed descriptions and photographs of specific models. Design principles are emphasized so that a scientist with only some background in electronics can gain enough information to design instruments that may not be commercially available. Since biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field, the authors have provided varied healthcare industry applications for each type of instrument.

Product Description: This objective, referenced collection of over 300 articles will cover every aspect of medical devices and instrumentation in four volumes, totalling about 3,000 pages. The Encyclopedia will define the discipline by bringing together the core of knowledge from all the fields encompassed by the application of engineering, physics, and computers to problems in medicine...read more

Without sensors many electronic applications would not exist. The importance of sensors contrasts with the limited information available. Besides describing the principle of operation of most common sensors and covering their advantages and disadvantages, it also analyzes their electronic signal conditioning circuits. Every area from the physical quantity to the analog-to-digital converter is thoroughly discussed. Also covers a broad range of sensors and gives actual specifications for several commercial sensors. Includes several worked-out circuit design examples and discusses problems and annotated solutions that will stimulate the search for and development of new solutions, thus overcoming the need to buy expensive subsystems even for the most basic measurement problems.

Product Description: Minimally invasive medicine has the goal of providing health care with minimal trauma. When minimally invasive surgery is utilized, it reduces the length of hospital stays, lowers costs, lowers pain, and reduces blood loss. Other minimally invasive techniques minimize radiation exposure, tissue damage, and drug side effects...read more

Product Description: In a highly original study, David Wyatt takes a broad, yet personal, look at the cultural legacy of the sixties through ten creative figures who came of age during the Vietnam War. Wyatt argues that it is each artist's "personal engagement" with his or her own era that binds together the achievements of storytellers such as filmmaker George Lucas, songwriter Bruce Springsteen, playwright Sam Shepard, journalist Michael Herr, writers Ann Beattie, Alice Walker, Ethan Mordden, Sue Miller, and poets Gregory Orr, and Louise Gluck...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

'Containing over 1,400 articles, this is the most comprehensive encyclopedia of electrical engineering available. The articles were written and reviewed by an international group of engineers with academic or research affiliations. The entries are grouped into 64 broad categories such as solid-state circuits, fuzzy systems, and medical imaging. Mathematical explanations, tables, and graphics illustrate the articles. An extensive index by subject and keyword makes locating material easy. All of the articles have bibliographies. Larger public libraries and academic libraries with engineerings majors will find this to be a useful source.'--'Outstanding reference sources 2000', American Libraries, May 2000. Comp. by the Reference Sources Committee, RUSA, ALA.
