Non-Invasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis

Non-Invasive Instrumentation and Measurement in Medical Diagnosis, 2nd Edition, examines the instruments and procedures used for non-invasive medical diagnosis and therapy. Robert B. Northrop highlights non-invasive approaches to avoid the risks and expenses linked to surgically opening the body surface.

Derived from more than 35 years of teaching at the University of Connecticut, the textbook covers varied diagnostic methodologies. Supported topics include pulse oximetry, tissue fluorescence spectroscopy, and x-ray bone densitometry using the DEXA method.

Intended for introductory university courses for juniors, seniors, and graduate students in biomedical engineering, the volume also serves as a reference for medical students, healthcare professionals, practicing physicians, nurses, physicists, and biophysicists.
