Provides an introduction to the various kinds of biomedical transducers, essential instruments for acquiring many types of medical and biological data. Covers the use of biomedical transducers for measurements of pressure, flow, motion, temperature, heat flow, evaporation, biopotential, biomagnetism, and chemical quantities. Includes a survey of fundamental knowledge of measurement using transducers; cardiovascular research and practice; orthopedic research and practice; general physiology and medicine; electrophysiology; and "in vivo" chemical measurement. Intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of biomedical engineering, as well as biomedical scientists, clinical engineers, and industrialists involved in developing instruments.
