Editorial Reviews for Medical Instrumentation: Application and Design
|
This well-established text describes the principles, applications and design of the medical instrumentation most commonly used in hospitals. Because equipment changes with time, the authors stress fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment. They avoid detailed descriptions and photographs of specific models. Design principles are emphasized so that a scientist with only some background in electronics can gain enough information to design instruments that may not be commercially available. Since biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field, the authors have provided varied healthcare industry applications for each type of instrument.

Summary: This book is just a big table of contents
Comment: The book scans through many topics related to Bomedical Instrumentation. It gives you just a general idea of what this is about, but if you want to get serious details about anything mentioned, you will need a second source for everything, as nothing is explained or treated in enough detail. Wikipedia is more informative than this book for many of the topics.
For example, the chapter about operational amplifiers is just a useless list of what the amps can do, but nothing really useful and complete on how to use them. The chapter about biopotentials is a bit better, though incomplete. The description of electrodes is incomplete. You just get a huge list of articles you should read to really learn something out of your time and effort.
For the amount of topics it pretends to cover and the thin detail offererd, this book seems like a big table of contents to me, not a reference at all. I don't know of a better book on Biomed Instrumentation, though. I should write one =)

Summary: Convoluted and confusing
Comment: This book is not the best as a textbook. Might be useful as a refresher or reference, but that's not what I had to use it for. It is wordy and is sometimes too detailed and sometimes not enough. It has no consistency, thanks to numerous authors. Also, the material is often outdated. Time to look for a different book.

Summary: Electronic Medical Instrumentation
Comment: As a coursebook, I found 'Medical Instrumentation' to be a sound survey of electrical medical diagnostic instrumentation. The book does review electrical therapeutic medical instrumentation; however, it's coverage is not as thorough.This is an excellent resource for engineers planning to specialize in medical device design. A good understanding of physiology is necessary to fully utilize the Medical Instrumentation text. If you have little medical background, I recommend Review of Medical Physiology (by William Ganong) as a companion.

Summary: Could be More Simple
Comment: Explains dynamic characteristics of circuits very well. It has a ton of information - which can be too much. If you are just starting out in a course on instrumentation, I would recommend, "Principles of Bioinstrumentation" by Normann. His book is much simpler. Ideally, you should get both,..., it depends what level you are at (as a 4th year bioengineering student, I preferred the simple version...)
