Handbook of Biomedical Instrumentation

Describing the physiological basis and engineering
principles of electro-medical equipment,
Handbook of Biomedical Instrumentation
also includes information on the principles of
operation and the performance parameters of a
wide range of instruments.
Broadly, this comprehensive handbook
covers:
â–  recording and monitoring instruments
â–  measurement and analysis techniques
â–  modern imaging systems
â–  therapeutic equipment
This 3rd Edition has been thoroughly revised
and updated taking into account technological
innovations and introduction of new and
improved methods of medical diagnosis and
treatment.
Capturing recent developments and discussing
new topics, the 3rd Edition includes a separate
chapter on ‘Telemedicine Technology’, which
shows how information and communication
technologies have made significant contribution
in better diagnosis and treatment of patients and
management of health facilities. Alongside,
there is coverage of new implantable devices as
increasingly such devices are being preferred
for treatment, particularly in neurological
stimulation for pain management, epilepsy,
bladder control, etc.
The 3rd Edition also appropriately addresses
‘Point of Care’ equipment: as some technologies
become easier to use and less expensive
and equipment becomes more transportable,
even complex technologies can diffuse out of
hospitals and institutional settings into outpatient
facilities and patient’s homes.
With expanded coverage, this exhaustive and
comprehensive handbook would be useful for
biomedical physicists and engineers, students,
doctors, physiotherapists, and manufacturers of
medical instruments.
