Best book currently on the market,
By
This review is from: Biomedical Device Technology: Principles And Design (Paperback)
Most biomedical technology books, geared for a technician or technical overview, do not offer much knowledge of the plethora of biomedical systems currently in use. I have been pleasantly surprised by this book. The first part of this book does a good job of discussing signal measurements, transducers, biopotential amplifiers, and electrical safety. This is fairly standard material which can also be found in other books. The author provides a good overview here.
The second part of the book examines a large number of medical devices. There is very little BMET-oriented material that is not covered. There is just enough information to understand the basic principles involved. This is where the book is a great improvement over the many other books I have read. The author does a good job of keeping most of these chapters short and to the point. One thing noticeably missing from this book is imaging systems (X-ray,CT, MRI, sonography). At over 500 pages, the author was wise enough to not try to include imaging systems. Imaging systems could easily have added another 500 pages. Something else that is, thankfully, missing is any voluminous discussion of pertinent regulations. Too many biomedical books focus far too much on the regulatory aspects. The regulatory aspects belong in a separate book. Chan discusses some of the most important of these, and then moves on. Bravo! This is not a textbook. There are no end-of-chapter questions. It is a good reference book for anyone working with medical equipment. It contains enough breadth and enough depth to be useful to students and to technicians in the field. I hope that AAMI will place this book on their list of suggested books for the CBET certifications. This book is not sufficient for medical equipment designers. For designers, turn to Bronzino. I hope to see a second edition of this book in the future. If a second edition is planned, I would like the author to add a chapter (after electrical safety) on electrical safety analyzers. I would also like to see a bit more included in the mechanical ventilator chapter. But this is minor nitpicking. The book is good as is. For anyone who deals with medical equipment, including the operators, this is a good "keeper" book.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biomedical Device Technology: Principles And Design (Hardcover)
I think this copy is good for a novice electronic engineer who intends to develop some medical instrument. The concept is easy to understand.
