Encyclopedia of Medical Devices and Instrumentation John G.
Webster, Editor-in-Chief This comprehensive encyclopedia, the work
of more than 400 contributors, includes 266 articles on devices and
instrumentation that are currently or likely to be useful in
medicine and biomedical engineering. The four volumes include 3,022
pages of text that concentrates on how technology assists the
branches of medicine. The articles emphasize the contributions of
engineering, physics, and computers to each of the general areas of
medicine, and are designed not for peers, but rather for workers
from related fields who wish to take a first look at what is
important in the subject. Highly recommended for university
biomedical engineering and medical reference collections, and for
anyone with a science background or an interest in technology.
Includes a 78-page index, cross-references, and high-quality
diagrams, illustrations, and photographs. 1988 (0 471-82936-6)
4-Volume Set Introduction to Radiological Physics and Radiation
Dosimetry Frank Herbert Attix provides complete and useful coverage
of radiological physics. Unlike most treatments of the subject, it
encompasses radiation dosimetry in general, rather than discussing
only its applications in medical or health physics. The treatment
flows logically from basics to more advanced topics. Coverage
extends through radiation interactions to cavity theories and
dosimetry of X-rays, charged particles, and neutrons. Several
important subjects that have never been thoroughly analyzed in the
literature are treated here in detail, such as charged-particle
equilibrium, broad-beam attenuation and geometries, derivation of
the Kramers X-ray spectrum, and the reciprocity theorem, which is
also extended to the nonisotropic homogeneous case. 1986 (0
471-01146-0) 607 pp. Medical Physics John R. Cameron and James G.
Skofronick This detailed text describes medical physics in a
simple, straightforward manner. It discusses the physical
principles involved in the control and functon of organs and organ
systems such as the eyes, ears, lungs, heart, and circulatory
system. There is also coverage of the application of mechanics,
heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism to medicine,
particularly of the various instruments used for the diagnosis and
treatment of disease. 1978 (0 471-13131-8) 615 pp.
