Current demand in biomedical sciences emphasizes the understanding
of basic mechanisms and problem solving rather than rigid
empiricism and factual recall. Knowledge of the basic laws of mass
and momentum transport as well as model development and validation,
biomedical signal processing, biomechanics, and capstone design
have indispensable roles in the engineering analysis of
physiological processes. To this end, an introductory,
multidisciplinary text is a must to provide the necessary
foundation for beginning biomedical students. Assuming no more than
a passing acquaintance with molecular biology, physiology,
biochemistry, and signal processing, Biomedical Engineering
Principles, Second Edition provides just such a solid, accessible
grounding to this rapidly advancing field. Acknowledging the vast
range of backgrounds and prior education from which the biomedical
field draws, the organization of this book lends itself to a
tailored course specific to the experience and interests of the
student. Divided into four sections, the book begins with systems
physiology, transport processes, cell physiology, and the
cardiovascular system. Part I covers systems analysis, biological
data, and modeling and simulation in experimental design, applying
concepts of diffusion, and facilitated and active transport. Part
II presents biomedical signal processing, reviewing frequency,
periodic functions, and Fourier series as well as signal
acquisition and processing techniques. Part III presents the
practical applications of biomechanics, focusing on the mechanical
and structural properties of bone, musculoskeletal, and connective
tissue with respect to joint range, load bearing capacity, and
electrical stimulation. The final part highlights capstone design,
discussing design perspectives for living and nonliving systems,
the role of the FDA, and the project timeline from inception to
proof of concept. Cutting across many disciplines, Biomedical
Engineering Principles, Second Edition offers illustrative examples
as well as problems and discussion questions designed specifically
for this book to provide a readily accessible, widely applicable
introductory text.
