Biomedical Instrumentation and Measurements

Designed as a text for the undergraduate students of instrumentation, electrical, electronics and biomedical engineering, this second edition covers the entire range of instruments and the measurement methods used in the medical field. Functions of biomedical instruments and measurement methods are presented, keeping in mind those students who have only a minimal knowledge of human physiology.

The purpose of this book is to review the principles of biomedical instrumentation and measurements employed in the hospital industry. Primary emphasis is laid on the method rather than micro level mechanism. This book serves two purposes: to explain the mechanism and functional details of human body; and to explain how the biological signals of human body can be acquired and used in a successful manner.
