Summary

This book is an introduction to biomedical engineering, starting from the basics and demonstrating the engineering principles that are used to create new diagnostic methods and therapies for human disease. Although biomedical engineering is a relatively new field of study, it impacts almost every person in the world.

Biomedical Engineering Summary

Biomedical Engineering: Bridging Medicine and Technology by W. Mark Saltzman (Yale University, Connecticut)

This is an ideal text for an introduction to biomedical engineering. The book presents the basic science knowledge used by biomedical engineers at a level accessible to all students and illustrates the first steps in applying this knowledge to solve problems in human medicine. Biomedical engineering encompasses a range of fields of specialization including bioinstrumentation, bioimaging, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biomolecular engineering. This introduction to bioengineering assembles foundational resources from molecular and cellular biology and physiology and relates them to various sub-specialties of biomedical engineering. The first two parts of the book present basic information in molecular/cellular biology and human physiology; quantitative concepts are stressed in these sections. Comprehension of these basic life science principles provides the context in which biomedical engineers interact. The third part of the book introduces sub-specialties in biomedical engineering, and emphasizes - through examples and profiles of people in the field - the types of problems biomedical engineers solve.

Biomedical Engineering Reviews

Biomedical engineering is the newest of the engineering disciplines, so the cannon of biomedical engineering textbooks is very much a work in progress...Saltzman has written an excellent upper-level textbook on the topics of drug delivery and tissue engineering..highly recommended - CHOICE
