Known as the bible of biomedical engineering, The Biomedical
Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition, sets the standard against which
all other references of this nature are measured. As such, it has served
as a major resource for both skilled professionals and novices to
biomedical engineering.
Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals, the first volume of the handbook,
presents material from respected scientists with diverse backgrounds in
physiological systems, biomechanics, biomaterials, bioelectric
phenomena, and neuroengineering.
More than three dozen specific topics are examined, including cardiac
biomechanics, the mechanics of blood vessels, cochlear mechanics,
biodegradable biomaterials, soft tissue replacements, cellular
biomechanics, neural engineering, electrical stimulation for paraplegia,
and visual prostheses. The material is presented in a systematic manner
and has been updated to reflect the latest applications and research
findings.
