"Bridging the disciplines of engineering and medicine, this book informs researchers, clinicians, and practitioners of the latest developments in diagnostic tools, decision support systems, and intelligent devices that impact and redefine research in and delivery of medical services"--Provided by publisher.
Contributors mostly from engineering, communications, and other technical fields; but some from biomedical sciences, offer a textbook and reference for students at the interface between the two. Among the topics are microfluidic applications in vascular bioengineering, social and ethical concerns of biomedical engineering research and practice, biomedical watermarking, handling large medical data sets for disease detection, regional and community health information exchange in the US, medical transcription as a pioneer in healthcare informatics, artificial intelligence in medical fields, and analyzing and predicting DNA recognition by zinc finger proteins with applications in genome modification.
