Biomedical engineering

Part of the “!%Artech House%! Engineering in Medicine & Biology Series,” the volume Intelligent Systems Modeling and Decision Support in Bioengineering covers the analysis, design and application of the systems in the biomedical field. A chapter on the use of fuzzy logic-based technologies addresses signal processing, diagnostic imaging and treatment planning for radiation therapy, and image processing, particularly magnetic resonance imagery. Other topics discussed in the 354-page resource include systems modeling and feedback adaptive control of anesthesia and hybrid modeling — combining intelligent systems-based structures with physical models. Charts, diagrams and references are provided. Mahdi Mahfouf; Artech House, Norwood, Mass., 2006; $139.
