NON INVASIVE INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS 2ED (HB 2018) Hardcover

Non-Invasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis, Second Edition explores the expanding, multidisciplinary area of NIMD. 1 The content of this second edition comes from Professor Robert B. Northrop's extensive teaching experience in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. 1 The book centers on the instruments and methods used for non-invasive medical diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the advantages of NIMD in avoiding the risks and costs of surgical procedures. 2 This second edition covers a broad range of NIMD topics, including DEXA bone densitometry, tissue fluorescence spectroscopy, optical interferometric measurement of tiny tissue movements, laser Doppler velocimetry, pulse oximetry, and the use of Raman spectroscopy in cancer detection, among others. 1 This book is designed for introductory courses on Non-Invasive Medical Instrumentation and Measurements for undergraduate and graduate students in Biomedical Engineering. 3 It will also serve as a reference for medical students and other healthcare professionals interested in the subject. Practicing physicians, nurses, physicists, and biophysicists seeking to learn about the latest techniques in this important field will also find this text valuable. "Non-Invasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis, Second Edition" includes a detailed index, bibliography, and a comprehensive glossary for future reference and further reading. 1
