Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

This text 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. Coverage includes biomechanics; ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and the 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. The book includes chapter problems with short questions to test understanding of the main principles and longer questions to test more in-depth knowledge.Brown, B.
