Opis

This text is intended for use in an introductory course in bioinstrumentation taken by seniors and 1st year graduate students in departments of biomedical engineering and possibly electrical engineering. Non-invasive instrumentation is a very important component of this course. An analytical and quantitative approach is stressed in describing the basic components of non-invasive medical instruments. The relationship of the many non-invasive parameters measured to health and physiology is considered in every case. Where appropriate this text also covers invasive instrumentation, with a description of their positive and negative effects.
