Produktbeschreibung
Bioengineering has become one of the most exciting majors in engineering programs everywhere. Medical Devices is a textbook for an introductory seminar course on the biomedical devices field. The book covers devices and systems in diagnostic, surgical, and implant procedures, prepared by the much-respected faculty members at the UCLA School of Medicine. The chapters are written and organized in the form of independent modules, such that lectures can be configured with a high degree of flexibility from year to year. It is designed for students in freshman year seminars/introductory biomedical engineering courses.
Addressing the exploding interest in bioengineering for healthcare applications, this book provides readers with detailed yet easy-to-understand guidance on biomedical device engineering. Written by prominent physicians and engineers, Medical Devices: Surgical and Image-Guided Technologies is organized into stand-alone chapters covering devices and systems in diagnostic, surgical, and implant procedures.

Assuming only basic background in math and science, the authors clearly explain the fundamentals for different systems along with such topics as engineering considerations, therapeutic techniques and applications, future trends, and more. After describing how to manage a design project for medical devices, the book examines the following:
Instruments for laparoscopic and ophthalmic surgery, plus surgical robotics
Catheters in vascular therapy and energy-based hemostatic surgical devices
Tissue ablation systems and the varied uses of lasers in medicine
Vascular and cardiovascular devices, plus circulatory support devices
Ultrasound transducers, X-ray imaging, and neuronavigation

An absolute must for biomedical engineers, Medical Devices: Surgical and Image-Guided Technologies is also an invaluable guide for students in all engineering majors and pre-med programs interested in exploring this fascinating field.
