Excellent book - But it could use a "cosmetic" update
Good subject coverage, knowledgeable author, and plenty of uncluttered figures makes this book very worthwhile.The only thing missing from this excellent book is an update.Although this is the third edition (1998),almost all of the equipment photographs are from the early-to-mid 1970's. An extensive and broad Suggested Reading section follows most chapters butagain far far too many references are to early 1970's books and manuals. An update could earn this book a 5+ rating. ...

Very comprehensive introduction to the field
This text is the best introductory book available, it is comprehensive and will serve the reader as a reference throughout his/her career.The authors have made a significant contribution to the field with this text and will help many biomedical engineering programs and their students.

Errors make it hard to learn
I've used this book now in 2 classes (including one taught by an author of one of the chapters) and have both times found the book hard to use.It is full of so many small errors you can never be sure whether the problems you are having are because you don't understand the material, or if there is another mistake in that section.Very frustrating.The problems are not limited to explicit errors either, there are issues with the presentation that makes me think it was poorly edited as well.Style, order, and omission of important points are among the sins.Some sections are pretty good, though. review of biomedical engineering handbook
subjects are old and out of date.For example, modeling of the eye, (...).This books seems like an attempt to introduce you to the research of a few professors who are trying to recruit graduate students.I found little educational value in it. ... Read more

Convoluted and confusing
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 Also, the material is often outdated.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.

if(you=clinical engineer){get it=true}else{think again };
Seeing it from clinical engineer eyes is different than seeing it from a biomedical engineer eyes; however, it is not as thoroughly covers topics as it seems from the author's repetition in the field.
Electronic Medical Instrumentation
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.Read more

A must have for reviewers
I bought this book when i was reviewing for my Medical Technology certification exam. The book is more difficult than the certification exam. But the beauty of this book is that it will make you understand the rationale and principlesbehind all the laboratory tests and procedures. If you can pass at least 60% of the questions in this book. You have a good chance of passing the certification exam.

Prentice Hall Q&A Review of Med Tech/CLS
I highly recommend this book!I bought several other review books such as Concise Review, and this book has more detail than any of the others.It has 1000's of questions, but what is most helpful is the DETAILED description of the answers.They were so thorough that by diligently studying and outlining their answers you will learn a tremendous amount. ...

Great !
My close friend who is one of the nicest person I ever met, recommended me this book. Upon opening the first chapter, I already know that this book is amazing. My writing improves a lot. If you are an international student like me, you might also have hard time on writing as well. I guaranteed that this book is really invaluable.

Very good book, examples used bit too technical
Very good book for beginners and experienced researchers! I haven't come across any other book that actually describes how you should write a biomedical paper. The only critique is that the examples used are too technical for non-biomedical researchers, this makes it hard to understand the examples. But even if you do not have a biomedical background you will learn a lot from this book.

Authoritative

Intelligent, Useful Handbook
Biomedical applications of light are expanding dynamically.This handbook does a good job of organizing a mass of information on dozens of cutting-edge technologies.The articles by leading experts are aimed at professionals but do not, in most cases, require specialized knowledge to understand.The clear graphics appropriately support the text, while the chapter bibliographies are extensive.Read more

Very good approach to modern biology.
This book gives a very good overview of cell and molecular biology. The information provided is not complete but enough to get a solid knowledge about biological processes. That means you do not have to read hundreds of papes to come to the point you are interested in. Moreover, it provides you a good knowledge about different types of proteins and their role in biological processes. This is important because somehow they are all connected with each other in a complex way.

Good Book
This book is next only to "From Neuron to Brain" to understand Neuroscience Basics. It covers a bunch of other topics other than Neuroscience. Worth a reading!

A classic text in the field of bioengineering.
Begins with the necessary physics and vector calculus. Steps logically and clearly through the physics of diffusing ions in solution separated by membranes. Presents classic Hodgkin-Huxley formulation and develops analytic and computer models of excitable axon. Covers basics of ECG and heart vector rotation. All exercises in the book focus on extension of topics and experimentation. Written for the engineer/scientist at the senior undergrad level. ... Read more

An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions
This is a very good undergraduate level textbook for studying the events that take place during wound healing. It assumes no previous knowledge of biology, which is very good for engineering students. The text is also very intuitive and didatic, making it easy to follow. Many b&w images and photos illustrating the explanations given in the text.
