Biomedical Imaging and Sensing: Clinical Applications

Biomedical sensing and imaging are technologies that are helpful in acquiring and processing biomedical information, significant for timely detection, quick diagnosis and accurate treatment of the diseases. Biomedical sensors are electronic devices, which transform the biomedical signals into electric signals that can be measured easily. They are a significant component in different medical diagnostic equipment and instruments. Generally used biomedical sensing technologies like invasive ultrasound, electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram have successful application in clinical medicine. Biomedical imaging presents a visual representation of internal structures, which are hidden beneath the skin and bones, and help in appropriate diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Generally utilized imaging technologies include radiology, radiography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, elastography and endoscopy. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the clinical applications of biomedical imaging and sensing techniques. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying this field.
