Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
Preface
The purpose of the third edition remains
the same as the first and second editions,
that is, to serve as an introduction to and
overview of the field of biomedical engineering.
Many chapters have undergone
major revision from the previous editions
with new end-of-chapter problems added.
Some chapters were eliminated completely,
with several new chapters added to reflect
changes in the field.
Over the past fifty years, as the discipline
of biomedical engineering has evolved, it has
become clear that it is a diverse, seemingly
all-encompassing field that includes such
areas as bioelectric phenomena, bioinformatics,
biomaterials, biomechanics, bioinstrumentation,
biosensors, biosignal processing,
biotechnology, computational biology and
complexity, genomics, medical imaging,
optics and lasers, radiation imaging, tissue
engineering, and moral and ethical issues.
Although it is not possible to cover all of
the biomedical engineering domains in this
textbook, we have made an effort to focus
on most of the major fields of activity in
which biomedical engineers are engaged.
The text is written primarily for engineering
students who have completed differential
equations and a basic course in statics.
Students in their sophomore year or junior
year should be adequately prepared for this
textbook. Students in the biological sciences,
including those in the fields of medicine
and nursing can also read and understand
this material if they have the appropriate
mathematical background.
This is a comprehensive survey text for biomedical engineering courses. The wide range of topics that are covered in this text, including basic mathematical modeling; anatomy and physiology; electrical engineering, signal processing and instrumentation; biomechanics; biomaterials science and tissue engineering; and medical and engineering ethics.
