This is the third volume of "Biomedical Engineering", a major, four-volume collection giving a comprehensive picture of the state of the art and emerging trends in engineering for medical applications. Major thematic areas include current technical applications in medicine, the principles of biosensors and the ethics theory and practice of bioengineering. Applied examples include neuroprosthetics, rehabilitation technologies, tissue regeneration and biomedical imaging. Advanced topics include current frontiers and challenges, such as in the production and use of nanomaterials, the development of genosensors, developments in software and communications technology, and new areas in materials science, such as cold plasma techniques, biomedical polyesters, biofilms, macroporous foams, new alloys for surgical implantation and new chitin-based materials for medical use. "Biomedical Engineering" is a wide-ranging collection drawing on research by leading experts from around the world to give a thorough, high-quality overview of the state of the field, and will be of great value to students and researchers in medicine, materials science and biotechnology, in experimental, clinical and industrial settings.
