DESCRIPTION
Designed as a text for the undergraduate students of instrumenta on, electrical, electronics and
biomedical engineering, the second edi on of the book covers the en re range of instruments and
their measurement methods used in the medical field. The func ons of the biomedical instruments
and measurement methods are presented keeping in mind those students who have minimum
required knowledge of human physiology.
The purpose of this book is to review the principles of biomedical instrumenta on and measurements
employed in the hospital industry. Primary emphasis is laid on the method rather than micro level
mechanism. This book serves two purposes: One is to explain the mechanism and func onal details of
human body, and the other is to explain how the biological signals of human body can be acquired and
used in a successful manner.
New to the second edi on
• The chapters of the book have been reorganized so that the students can understand the concepts
in a systema c manner.
• The chapter on Bioelectric Poten als and Transducers has been divided into three new chapters on
Transducers for Biomedical Applica ons, Bioelectric Poten al and Electrodes and some new sec ons
are also included in these chapters.
Key features
• More than 180 illustra ons throughout the book.
• Short ques ons with answers at the end of each chapter.
• Chapter‐end exercises to reinforce the understanding of the subject.
