Description
Book SynopsisMany medical applications could benefit from system theory, if only instrumentation designers understood systems theory and signal processing academics had a better understanding of practical medical applications. This book bridges those gaps in a practical manner, with suggestions for coursework included.
Trade Review"…this is a useful addition to the library of those who are involved in product development of technologies using complex signal processing." (
Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology, May/June 2004)
"...an excellent contribution to the current literature...well written..." (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, July/August 2002)
"The approach chosen by Dr. Baura is original and is to be congratulated for its ambitiousness. I would recommend the book to existing biomedical engineering experts working in environment where solving practical problems is the issue...in addition it could be very useful as a class text..." (IFMBE News, No. 61, July 2003)
