Often the designer is a medical or life science professional without any training in electronics or design. Likewise, few engineers are specifically trained in biomedical engineering and have little or no exposure to the specific medical requirements of these devices. Design of Medical Electronic Devices presents all essential topics necessary for basic and advanced design. All aspects of the electronics of medical devices are also covered. This is an essential book for graduate students as well as professionals involved in the design of medical equipment.
- Covers every stage of the process, from design to manufacturing to implementation
- Topics covered include analogue/digital conversions, data acquisition, signal processing, optics, and reliability and failure
Biomedical and clinical engineers, medical professionals, and equipment manufacturers working with the design, manufacture, and sale of medical devices and equipment
1. Proper Design of Power Subsystems in Medical Electronics2. Fundamentals of Magnetic Resonance Imaging3. Particle Accelerator Design4. Sensor Characteristics5. Data Acquisition6. Noise and Interference Issues in Analog Circuits7. Hardware Approach to Digital Signal Processing 8. Optical Sensors
