The Standard Handbook of Biomedical Engineering bridges the gap between engineering principles and biological systems. Over 40 experts from universities and medical centers throughout North America and Israel have produced a practical reference for the biomedical professional who is seeking to solve a wide range of engineering and design problems, whether to enhance a diagnostic or therapeutic technique, reduce the cost of manufacturing a medical instrument or prosthetic device, improve the daily life of a patient with a disability, or increase the effectiveness of a hospital department.

Coverage includes not only fundamental principles but also numerous recent advances in this fast moving discipline. The Handbook offers a breadth and depth of biomedical engineering coverage unmatched in any other reference.
