Biomedical Engineering & Design Handbook, Vol 1-2
Description
Biomedical Engineering & Design Handbook, Volumes I and II
McGraw-Hill Professional -- 2009 -- ISBN: 0071498400 -- 1600 pages -- PDF -- 17,1 MBA State-of-the-Art Guide to Biomedical Engineering and Design Fundamentals and Applications
The two-volume Biomedical Engineering and Design Handbook, Second Edition offers unsurpassed coverage of the entire biomedical engineering field, including fundamental concepts, design and development processes, and applications. This landmark work contains contributions on a wide range of topics from nearly 80 leading experts at universities, medical centers, and commercial and law firms.
Volume 1 focuses on the basics of biomedical engineering, including biomedical systems analysis, biomechanics of the human body, biomaterials, and bioelectronics. Filled with more than 500 detailed illustrations, this superb volume provides the foundational knowledge required to understand the design and development of innovative devices, techniques, and treatments.
Volume 2 provides timely information on breakthrough developments in medical device design, diagnostic equipment design, surgery, rehabilitation engineering, prosthetics design, and clinical engineering. Filled with more than 400 detailed illustrations, this definitive volume examines cutting-edge design and development methods for innovative devices, techniques, and treatments.
INTRODUCTION
Over the past 100 years, the understanding of thermal and mechanical properties of human tissues and physics that governs biological processes has been greatly advanced by the utilization of fundamental engineering principles in the analysis of many heat and mass transport applications in biology and medicine. During the past two decades, there has been an increasingly intense interest in bioheat transfer phenomena, with particular emphasis on therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Relying on advanced computational techniques, the development of complex mathematical models has greatly enhanced our ability to analyze various types of bioheat transfer process. The collaborations among physiologists, clinicians, and engineers in the bioheat transfer field have resulted in improvements
in prevention, treatment, preservation, and protection techniques for biological systems,
including use of heat or cold treatments to destroy tumors and to improve patients’ outcome
after brain injury, and the protection of humans from extreme environmental conditions.
In this chapter we start with fundamental aspects of local blood tissue thermal interaction.
Discussions on how the blood effect is modeled in tissue then follow. Different approaches for theoretically modeling the blood flow in the tissue are shown. In particular the assumptions and validity of several widely used continuum bioheat transfer equations are evaluated. Different techniques to measure temperature, thermophysical properties, and blood flow in biological systems are then described. The final part of the chapter focuses on one of the medical applications of heat transfer, hyperthermia treatment for tumors.
