Biomaterials & Medical Devices Biomedical Engineering Principles
New!
Second Edition Arthur B. Ritter, Vikki Hazelwood, and Antonio Valdevit Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
Alfred N. Ascione Alcatel-Lucent Technologies, New Jersey, USA
Integrating engineering, medicine, biology, and physics, this book clearly defines basic principles in image processing and biomechanics, modeling physiological processes, and bioelectric signal analysis to build a solid understanding of devices and designs for improved functioning of the human body. It discusses tissue engineering, cardiovascular components, bone regrowth, and nerve regeneration. The authors also explore technologies at the forefront of cardiac care, such as total artificial hearts, as well as issues related to minimally invasive and robotic surgery, next-generation imaging devices, and nanodevices. • Includes new chapters on capstone design in biomedical engineering and entrepreneurship • Presents new coverage of systems biology and computational biology • Provides extensively revised and updated chapters on the emerging field of tissue engineering • Offers extensive examples and chapter problems
