Editorial Reviews

"The book presents a comfortable balance between clinical applications, basic technical information, and various pictures of medical technologies one will encounter in the field. Additionally, related anatomy and physiology principles and essential technical terms are a nice complement to the technologies presented. The everyday duties and responsibilities of a biomed are captured by the various "true-to-life" scenarios introduced throughout the book."

"This book is a good resource to have for those looking at going into the field. I frequently use the book as a field marketing tool because it showcases a good variety of medical technologies using an appealing, "down-to-earth", "reader-friendly" approach."
