Index
This Indian adaptation of the fifth edition of the book builds on the conceptual strength of the original to include new topics and reorganization of some existing for better alignment with Indian curriculum requirements. Basic concepts are supplemented with new topics on Receiver Operating Characteristics, and Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement. The book offers enhanced coverage of the developing fields of medical instrumentation, such as Biosensors, Electronic Opto-isolators, Biotelemetry, Gamma Cameras, and Microcontrollers – including their hardware, data transfer, and new biomedical applications.
