New for the Fourth Edition: * Comprehensive revision and updating as necessary * New section on magnetic resonance imaging * Additional material on monitoring depth of anesthesia * Descriptions of new apparatus, with the retention of information on older types of equipment where important for the demonstration of physical principles As in the previous editions, the authors clearly define the principles of clinical measurement. Mathematics are kept to a simple, understandable level with the frequent use of practical examples. Well established at the level between undergraduate teaching and advanced medical physics, this extensively illustrated book is for trainees and examination candidates in anesthesia and intensive care.
