Designed as a text for the undergraduate students of instrumentation, electrical, electronics and biomedical engineering, the second edition of the book covers the entire range of instruments and their measurement methods used in the medical field. The functions of the biomedical instruments and measurement methods are presented keeping in mind those students who have minimum required knowledge of human physiology. The purpose of this book is to review the principles of biomedical instrumentation and measurements employed in the hospital industry. Primary emphasis is laid on the method rather than micro level mechanism. This book serves two purposes: One is to explain the mechanism and functional details of human body, and the other is to explain how the biological signals of human body can be acquired and used in a successful manner. New to the second edition • The chapters of the book have been reorganized so that the students can understand the concepts in a systematic manner. • The chapter on Bioelectric Potentials and Transducers has been divided into three new chapters on Transducers for Biomedical Applications, Bioelectric Potential andElectrodes and some new sections are also included in these chapters. • A few sections have also been added to the chapter titled Electrical Safety of Medical Equipment and Patients.

Medical electronics is using vast and varied applications in numerous spheres of human endeavour—ranging from communication, biomedical engineering to re-creational activities. This book in its second edition continues to give a detailed insight into the basics of human physiology. It also educates the readers about the role of electronics in medicine and the various state-of-the-art equipments being used in hospitals around the world. The text presents the reader with a deep understanding of the human body, the functions of its various organs, and then moves on to the biomedical instruments used to decipher with greater precision the signals in relation to the body’s state of well-being. The book incorporates the latest research and developments in the field of biomedical instrumentation. Numerous diagrams and photographs of medical instruments make the book visually appealing and interesting. Primarily intended as a text for the students of Electronics and Instrumenta-tion Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, the book would also be of immense interest to medical practitioners.
