Computational Methods in Biophysics, Biomaterials, Biotechnology and Medical Systems: Algorithm Development, Mathematical Analysis and Diagnosticsvolu Hardcover - 2002

From the publisher

The cross-disciplinary pursuits between modern technology, their computations and applications to the human body have exploded because of rapid developments in computer technology and mathematical computational techniques.

This four-volume set, Computational Methods in Biophysics, Biomaterials, Biotechnology and Medical Systems, represents the first multi-volume treatment of this significant subject on the international scene. The work is an indispensable reference source by leading researchers, and is essential reference work for academics, practitioners, students and researchers working with:
*Computers in Medicine,
*Science and Mathematics in Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Bioengineering,
*Computational Biophysics.

Volume Synopsis:
Volume 1: Algorithm Techniques
The first volume begins logically with algorithmic techniques and their application in medical imaging procedures Electrocardiography (ECG) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG): modeling techniques used in data rich biomechanics and biomedical environments; and specific coverage of artificial neural networks for rehabilitation and DNA sequence analysis.
Volume 2: Computational Methods
Volume 2 presents computational methods across a broad array of subjects, from bone implants and wound healing to temperature driven physiological reactions of arms and legs; from spatial pattern analysis and binocular fixation systems to telerobotic surgery; and computer design and manufacturing systems in biomedicine.
Volume 3: Mathematical Analysis Methods
This volume focuses on methods of mathematical analysis, starting with medical imaging. Then to biological modeling for applications to blood flow, neuranatomy and motion analysis of tumors and metastases; mathematical methods related to Doppler examination of the heart, blood pressure drugs and knee implants; and closing with biosignal interchange formats and boundary element methods for biological systems.
Volume 4: Diagnostic Methods
This volume presents a rich variety of diagnostic methods and techniques derived from results of the earlier volumes. From analytical to heuristic to modern methods of artificial intelligence, a significant summary is provided on the essential role computational methods play in medical systems.
