In the last two centuries, medicine has been transformed by a
number of major technological and organisational innovations. This
edited collection examines the role of medical technologies in the
history of medicine, of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools,
prostheses and apparatus. The volume also discusses the social,
cultural, political and economic contexts from which these medical
technologies emerged, and, in turn, how technical innovations gave
rise to new social constellations. A central purpose of the volume
is to show what consequences new practices linked to the uptake of
certain technologies had for the history of medicine more widely.
