This book is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary resource for the
latest information on implantable medical devices, and is intended
for graduate students studying electrical engineering, electronic
instrumentation, and biomedical engineering. It is also appropriate
for academic researchers, professional engineers, practicing
doctors, and paramedical staff. Divided into two sections on Basic
Concepts and Principles, and Applications, the first section
provides an all-embracing perspective of the electronics background
necessary for this work. The second section deals with pacing
techniques used for the heart, brain, spinal cord, and the network
of nerves that interlink the brain and spinal cord with the major
organs, including ear and eye prostheses. The four main offshoots
of implantable electronics, which this book discusses, are: The
insertion of an implantable neural amplifier for accurate recording
of neural signals for neuroengineering studies The use of
implantable pulse generators for pacing the activities of diseased
organs The use of implantable sensors for observing the influence
of therapy and monitoring a patient's biological parameters The use
of drug delivery systems to supervise the supply of accurate doses
of medicine to affected parts Readers will also find chapters on
the essentials of clocking and timing circuits, pulse generator
circuits, neural amplifiers, batteries, biomaterials and
biocompatibility, and more. Unique to this book is also a chapter
on cyber security and confidentiality concerns with implants.
End-of-chapter questions and exercises help readers apply the
content to practical use, making this an ideal book for anyone
wishing to learn more about implantable devices.
