"This is a one-of-a-kind handbook for those who desire to have up-to-date knowledge about biomedical engineering interlaced with excellent engineering and analysis details, It teaches quickly and to the point. I am pleased to have it in my library."
- Assistive Technology, Volume 8, No. 1
"The list of section editors and the advisory board for this text reads like a "who's who" in biomedical engineering…Each section, each chapter, each illustration beckons me further inward until I become totally immersed within the detail and hopelessly enthralled with the potential of it all…A masterpiece addition to any collection."
- Biomaterials Forum
"This text is needed in your Science Library. Another copy is needed in your departmental office for use by the Chairman. Anyone planning or considering a new course should buy and use this text…Consultants, Clinical Engineers, and other related professionals…should also have a copy…"
