A Textbook of Medical Instruments






Book Description
Publication Date: December 1, 2006

Some principles of diagnosis are also included in order that a new researcher could understand the requirements of the Physician rather than blindly proceed in his developments using his knowledge of circuity, software and methods of signal processing. Further, medical diagnostic practice has been conservative in preserving the acumen the Physicians have imbibed from their seniors. For example, in the ECG, the very same trace occupying just 2 mm-3 mm with a chart paper is the vital (QRS) component in diagnosis, though, at present, the same information can be presented in a much better time-scale with greater detail. Because ECG diagnosis is still based on this standard record, a researcher intending to produce a new algorithm for a detection of typical pathology (automatically) would need to know the principles of pathological detection from the ECG in current use. That is why, the book has spent some pages on such aspects as well. After covering the several instruments under the different heads of Physiology, the Present day instruments like the CT scanner, the MRI, Ultrasound and Lasers are included. These deserve typically separate volumes on their own, but even here, the essentials are covered both from the medical and technical angles. Particular importance has been given to safety aspects as has been widely made known through several papers in the IEEE magazines, in a separate chapter. A chapter on possible further developments and another on signal processing examples have been included to the advantage of a medical reader intending to exploit the technological developments. A final chapter on the use of computers for medical data management and the use of the Web at large concludes the book. In a book of this kind, meant to be of use for the student who gets himself introduced to medical instruments for the first time, a large number of books, journals and manufacturers material had to be referred to. Today, the subject is growing at a very fast pace and newer methods in surgery and diagnostics are coming up every day. The book could cover only such material as are current and it is up to the reader to keep himself abreast of the developments by looking into the useful journals for example, the IEEE issues. A little work done by the authors own Biomedical and Engineering group has been included in the chapter on New developments. About the Author: Dr. S. Ananthi, B.E., M.Tech. (IISc), Ph.D. is a Sr. Lecturer in the University of Madras and she has studied and made considerable research publications on Signal Processing for Instrumentation. She has written books on Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, DSP and on Medical Electronics. She is a member of IEEE, IETE and IE (India).

Book Description
ISBN-10: 0521515335 | ISBN-13: 978-0521515337 | Publication Date: November 29, 2010 | Edition: 1

Increasing evidence identifies the possibility of restoring function to the damaged brain via exogenous therapies. One major target for these advances is stroke, where most patients can be left with significant disability. Treatments have the potential to improve the victim's quality of life significantly and reduce the time and expense of rehabilitation. Brain Repair After Stroke reviews the biology of spontaneous brain repair after stroke in animal models and in humans. Detailed chapters cover the many forms of therapy being explored to promote brain repair and consider clinical trial issues in this context. This book provides a summary of the neurobiology of innate and treatment-induced repair mechanisms after hypoxia and reviews the state of the art for human therapeutics in relation to promoting behavioral recovery after stroke. Essential reading for stroke physicians, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians and neuropsychologists.
