About the Book
The cross-disciplinary pursuits between modern technology and applications to the human body have exploded because of rapid developments in computer technology and mathematical computational techniques. This four-volume set should prove a useful reference source for: academics, practitioners, students and researchers working with: computers in medicine; science and mathematics in biomaterials, biomechanics and bioengineering; and computational biophysics. The first volume begins logically with algorithmic techniques and their application in medical imaging procedures Electrocardiography (ECG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG): modelling techniques used in data rich biomechanics and biomedical environments; and specific coverage of artificial neural networks for rehabilitation and DNA sequence analysis. Volume two presents computational methods across a broad array of subjects, from bone implants and wound healing to temperature driven physiological reactions of arms and legs; from spatial pattern analysis and binocular fixation systems to telerobotic surgery; and computer design and manufacturing systems in biomedicine.
The next volume then focuses on methods of mathematical analysis, starting with medical imaging. Then to biological modelling for applications to blood flow, neuranatomy and motion analysis of tumors and metastases; mathematical methods related to Doppler examination of the heart, blood pressure drugs and knee implants; and closing with biosignal interchange formats and boundary element methods for biological systems. Volume four presents a rich variety of diagnostic methods and techniques derived from results of the earlier volumes. From analytical to heuristic to modern methods of artificial intelligence, a significant summary is provided on the essential role computational methods play in medical systems.
