Biomedical engineering
Stories of patients whose lives have been saved
or improved by biomedical devices such as the cardiac defibrillator and the insulin
pump are described in
Medicine by Design: The Practice and Promise of Biomedical
Engineering. With 25 color photographs, the 248-page volume interweaves the
history of biomedical engineering with work in progress to improve orthopedics,
medical imaging, cardiovascular care and neurological therapies. Pacemakers, organ
imaging and artificial hearts are covered as well as the work of the da Vinci surgical
robotic system and pioneering steps into the field of genetics. The author visited
several academic centers of biomedical engineering in the US and has explored the
field from the perspectives of patients, engineers and surgeons. Fen Montaigne;
