Engineering in Medicine: Advances and Challenges documents the historical development, cutting-edge research and future perspectives on applying engineering technology to medical and healthcare challenges. The book contains 35 chapters under 5 sections that cover cardiovascular engineering, neuroengineering, cellular and molecular bioengineering, medical and biological imaging, and medical devices. The challenges and future perspectives of engineering in medicine are also discussed, along with novel methodologies that have been implemented in innovative medical device development. While this book will serve as an ideal resource for biomedical engineering researchers in universities and industry, it will also be useful for both undergraduate and graduate students. Presents a broad perspective on the state-of-the-art research in applying engineering technology to medical and healthcare challenges that cover cardiovascular engineering, neuroengineering, cellular and molecular bioengineering, medical and biological imaging, and medical devicesPresents the challenges and future perspectives of engineering in medicineWritten by members of the University of Minnesota's prestigious Institute of Engineering in Medicine (IEM), in collaboration with other experts around the world INDICE: Provisional table of contents Section 1: Cardiovascular Engineering 1.
