Poorly written; mistakes in formulas and physiology throughout the book by J. Aguayo (USA)  1 Stars
October 05, 2006
This book needed quite a bit of editing. There are mistakes in the physiology overview sections of the book. There are formulas that are flat out incorrect. The english is poor. There are statements near the end of sections in the book that are not expounded upon. There are figures with captions that do not explain them. This isnt just a problem here or there but a recurring problem throughout the entire book. This book was needed for a course in biomedical instrumentation but with all the errors throughout the book, I would not recommend this to any Professor thinking of using it.

Biomedical Instrumentation -Technology and Applications R S Khandpur by Munish (Punjab, INDIA)  5 Stars
August 03, 2006
For a long time, I have been looking for a book which could lucidly explain the relationship between engineering and medicine. Most of the books on Biomedical Engineering or Biomedical Instrumentation usually miss this information which a student or research scholar would like to have understand. This gap is elegantly filled by Biomedical Instrumentation, Technology and Application by Dr. Khandpur.
The book covers a wide range of equipment spanning direct patient care equipment, imaging technology, therapeutic techniques and instrumentation used in clinical laboratories. The book is profusely illustrated with a very large base of referenced material which would enable the readers in a specific field to go for detailed consultation. It is a commendable effort. I recommend the book to every student of Biomedical Instrumentation/Engineering.

| Basic Electronic Troubleshooting for Biomedical Technicians
by Nicholas Cram (Author), Selby Holder (Author)
A majority of the texts available for teaching electronic troubleshooting are based heavily on theory and complex formulas that are not required or desired in a hands-on teaching approach. In contrast, this book enables technicians to understand electronic repair problems without introducing high-level engineering formulas. This objective is achieved by presenting applications-oriented problem-solving techniques along with pictorial representations that replace complicated theory-oriented and...
