Reviews
...I feel that this book could be a valuable compendium and introduction to the various extant biotechnologies in healthcare management and will be a highly useful reference source to the multitude of researchers working at the interface of life sciences and engineering. --Dr. Sriram Shankar, Biotechnology Innovator and Entrepreneur The book provides chapters on a variety of areas specializing in biomedical technologies and devices. Each chapter has a very comprehensive list of references which readers will find more than adequate to gain further understanding. There is a chapter which contains extremely helpful data on common biomaterials used in the current clinical setting. For the undergraduate this book is a good place to start on the long road to understanding not only the successes but also the engineering and design difficulties that we have to face in developing tools and devices in a clinical setting. --Tim David, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Each chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the topic, allowing a reader who has little experience in it to quickly acquire the basic knowledge necessary and decide which area to focus on for future research. ... This handbook represents an excellent source of information for biomedical engineers in industry and biomedical engineering students looking for current, state-of-the-art information on a wide variety of topics related to biomedical devices and their clinical use. It should be recommended reading material for all Biomedical Engineering Senior Design courses. --Ender A. Finol, Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA

Finol, Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA I found this book to fill a void in the approach to teaching bioinstrumentation and the clinical applications of various bioinstruments and devices. The subject matter is treated in an exhaustive yet easy to understand manner. --Joel L. Berry, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA
Author Information
James E. Moore, Jr., PhD, received his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering with highest honor from the Georgia Institute of Technology, followed by an MS and a PhD from the same school and institute. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne, he has held faculty positions at Florida International University, Texas A&M University, and now Imperial College London. His research focuses on the biomechanics of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. Duncan J. Maitland, PhD, has worked as an engineer in aerospace, national defense, and biomedical applications since 1985. He received his BEE (electrical engineering) and MS (physics) from Cleveland State University. He received his PhD in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University. After his PhD, he worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 12 years and subsequently joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Texas A&M University in 2008. His research projects include endovascular interventional devices, micro actuators, optical therapeutic devices, and basic device–body interactions/physics, including computational and experimental techniques.
