Publisher's Synopsis
Bioengineering refers to the application of engineering in the fields of biology and medicine. It develops on the principles of varied fields such as biomechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, bioinformatics, etc. A number of life-saving and life-enhancing technologies have been developed owing to research in bioengineering. These include prosthetics such as artificial limb replacements and dentures, implanted devices, medical imaging techniques, surgical devices and systems, radiation therapy, therapeutic devices and equipment, etc. While medical electronics and medical instrumentation continue to be areas of interest, biomechanics, biological modeling, biomaterials and blood-flow dynamics are other areas of focus in bioengineering. This book outlines the concepts and applied principles of bioengineering in detail. It unravels the recent studies in this field. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying bioengineering as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts.
