Biomedical Engineering Handbook

Biomedical engineering uses engineering methods to build tools for diagnosing illness, treating disease and monitoring patients within healthcare. The discipline spans several branches, among them bioinformatics, biomechanics, biomaterials science, neural engineering and tissue engineering.

The field has grown alongside scientific and technological progress. Devices that help identify and cure disease, or that restore function and offset disability or injury, have emerged from these advances. This handbook gathers subjects from foundational principles to the most advanced developments.

Written in plain, accessible language, the book suits readers who want a detailed overview of the field's major topics.
