Mechanobiology examines effects of mechanical force stimuli on cellular biological functions. At appropriate levels, mechanical stimuli are necessary for growth and maintenance of healthy tissues and organs. The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the level of research in mechanobiolog..

"Acquaints developers of medical devices with the basic concepts and major issues of medical quality assurance and regulatory documents, describes the requirements listed in these documents, and provides strategies for compliance with these requirements."..

As the second volume of The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition, this book covers broad areas such as biomedical sensors, medical instrumentation and devices, rehabilitation engineering, and clinical engineering...

As medical technology in clinical care becomes more complex, clinical professionals and support staff must know how to keep patients safe and equipment working in the clinical environment. Accessible to all healthcare professionals and managers, this book presents an integrated approach to managing ..

Development of new medical image processing methods and the interpretation of complicated or unexpected results require deep understanding of the underlying theory and methods involved in image processing and analysis. This text provides a firm grounding in the principles as well as insight into the..

This monograph details the theory, technology, and practical implementations of image registration in a variety of medical settings. International experts thoroughly explain why image registration is important, describe its applications in a nonmathematical way, and include rigorous analysis for tho..
