Couverture de l’ouvrage Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering provides broad coverage appropriate for senior undergraduates and graduates in medical physics and biomedical engineering. Divided into two parts, the first part presents the underlying physics, electronics, anatomy, and physiology and the second part addresses practical applications. The structured approach means that later chapters build and broaden the material introduced in the opening chapters; for example, students can read chapters covering the introductory science of an area and then study the practical application of the topic. Coverage includes biomechanics; ionizing and nonionizing radiation and measurements; image formation techniques, processing, and analysis; safety issues; biomedical devices; mathematical and statistical techniques; physiological signals and responses; and respiratory and cardiovascular function and measurement. Where necessary, the authors provide references to the mathematical background and keep detailed derivations to a minimum. They give comprehensive references to junior undergraduate texts in physics, electronics, and life sciences in the bibliographies at the end of each chapter.

This book provides the conceptual tools required to apply the techniques of science and technology to medicine. It includes the techniques (biological effects of radiation, image formation, measurement of physiological processes) needed to illustrate the applications of the conceptual tools. Each main section demonstrates the technology in use, places the subject matter into its historical context, and sets minimum learning goals, as appropriate.
