In the modern age of publishing, there can be no excuses for sub-standard figures. Why is it then, that this book has technical illustrations that are both crude and clumsy? I was unable to find a single figure without at least one error.

The content was also extremely disappointing, being of a primarily superficial level. Ok for introduction to the topics, but no more. I was also a little disturbed with some of the referencing methods used by the author, where it appeared in one instance, that they essentially repeated portions of a referenced publication.

I strongly suggest spending your money elsewhere unless you are simply interested in learning about the basics.

I would have expected a book titled "Design of Medical Electronic Devices" to as a minimum address the variations from standard design practices that are needed in medical electronics. In addition, it should have some background material covering the product approval process through the FDA (or even a non-US agency). But, most of all, it should cover electronic DEVICES! It contains some useful background information for Medical IMAGING SYSTEMS but only at the circuit level is it relevant to electronic devices.

As another person had cited, the illustrations are very substandard.
