Medical Instruments and Devices ─ Principles and Practices

This book draws on material from the medical instruments and devices section of The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition. Edited by Schreiner, Bronzino, and Peterson, this reference brings together contributions by world-class experts in the field. Offering comprehensive treatment of the latest developments and research being conducted in biomedical instruments and devices, this is a useful resource for practitioners, scientists, and researchers working in the areas of medical devices and instrumentation as well as graduate students studying bioengineering, instrumentation, and medical devices.

Dr. Steven Schreiner joined The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in 2008, where he currently serves as dean of the School of Engineering and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received a B.S. in electrical engineering from Western New England University, Springfield, Massachusetts, and earned both his M.S. and Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. Following post-doctoral research fellowships in neurosurgery at Vanderbilt and radiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he held the position of senior biomedical engineer with Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc., Sacramento, CA. He is the founding chairman of the Biomedical Engineering Department at hisalma mater, Western New England University.
