PREFACE

This six-volume work is an alphabetically organized compilation

of almost 300 articles that describe critical aspects of

medical devices and instrumentation.

It is comprehensive. The articles emphasize the contributions

of engineering, physics, and computers to each of the

general areas of anesthesiology, biomaterials, burns, cardiology,

clinical chemistry, clinical engineering, communicative

disorders, computers in medicine, critical care

medicine, dermatology, dentistry, ear, nose, and throat,

emergency medicine, endocrinology, gastroenterology,

genetics, geriatrics, gynecology, hematology, heptology,

internal medicine, medical physics, microbiology, nephrology,

neurology, nutrition, obstetrics, oncology, ophthalmology,

orthopedics, pain, pediatrics, peripheral vascular

disease, pharmacology, physical therapy, psychiatry, pulmonary

medicine, radiology, rehabilitation, surgery, tissue

engineering, transducers, and urology.

The discipline is defined through the synthesis of the core

knowledge from all the fields encompassed by the application

of engineering, physics, and computers to problems in

medicine. The articles focus not only on what is now useful

but also on what is likely to be useful in future medical

applications.
