About the Book

Written to meet the needs of sophomore students in biomedical engineering courses, this textbook covers the span of biomedical engineering from the basic life sciences to practical clinical applications. Primary consideration is given to biomaterials, biomechanics, instrumentation, imaging, and clinical biomedical engineering, but other topics are discussed as well. It offers many illustrations and graphics within the chapters to clarify concepts and facts. Sidebar descriptions of biomedical engineering careers related to the text section are provided as well. This textbook also includes many homework and discussion problems. A solutions manual is provided as well, upon qualification.
