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.
Medical Devices and Human Engineering, the second volume of the
handbook, presents material from respected scientists with diverse
backgrounds in biomedical sensors, medical instrumentation and devices,
human performance engineering, rehabilitation engineering, and clinical
engineering.
More than three dozen specific topics are examined, including optical
sensors, implantable cardiac pacemakers, electrosurgical devices, blood
glucose monitoring, human-computer interaction design, orthopedic
prosthetics, clinical engineering program indicators, and virtual
instruments in health care. The material is presented in a systematic
manner and has been updated to reflect the latest applications and
research findings.
