Main description:

Clinical Engineering is intended for professionals and students in the clinical engineering field who need to successfully deploy medical technologies. The book provides a broad reference to the core elements of the subject, and draws from the expertise of a range of authors selected on the basis of their experience in their field. As well as engineering skills, as a clinical engineer you must be able to work with patients and with a range of professional staff, including technicians and clinicians, and with equipment manufacturers. You have to keep up to date with fast-moving scientific and medical research in the field, and be able to develop their own laboratory, design, workshop and management skills. This book will help you do this. This book provides engineers from within core medical disciplines and those from related fields who are collaborating on projects with the skills and knowledge to succeed at developing medical devices to the approved procedures and standards. It covers US and EU standards (FDA and MDD respectively, plus related ISO requirements), the de facto international standards.
Clinical Engineering is backed up by real-life clinical examples, case studies, plus separate tutorials for training and class use. It is the first comprehensive and practical guide for engineers working in a clinical environment.
