Recenzje

'Barbara Christe has excelled at updating this text to keep pace with today's medical technology. The 'For Further Exploration' section in each chapter provides supplemental reference material and valuable links to the most up-to-date information, which transitions the text from an 'Introduction to Biomedical Instrumentation' to a living document. This book should be the go-to resource in all HTM educational programs.' Ted Lucidi, The Pennsylvania State University
