Developments in computed tomography (CT) technology during the last 20 years have impressively improved its diagnostic potentialities. Detailing the latest research in CT imaging, Multi-Detector CT Imaging: Two Volume Set details the engineering and clinical benefits in the diagnosis of human pathologies utilizing CT technologies.
"This is a great book, ideal for a biomedical signal and image processing course…. a great introduction to the topic, while it also includes advanced topics in the field for graduate courses. … a great collection of topics [including] introduction to signal and image processing, advanced signal processing techniques, physiology and specific signal processing techniques used for various biomedical signals, an introduction to medical image formation, and advanced topics on medical image processing. This is a great book, highly recommended to any research and educator in this field."
The set covers all aspects of CT imaging, including technical principles and post-processing methodologies. It contains easily searchable clinical specialty chapters that provide information without need of an index. The coverage goes far beyond just a “how-to” or an encyclopedia of findings, however. The authors have uniformly put techniques, clinical findings, pathologic disease presentations, and clinical implications of imaging findings in practical perspective.
Features: • Provides a wide-ranging overview of the latest research in CT • Includes contributions from experts and pioneers in the field • Discusses the risks of CT, especially in pediatric patients • Contains extensive references at the end of each chapter to enhance further study • Presents the information in the order in which radiologists would approach unknown cases Catalog no.

—Purang Abolmaesumi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
"I am not aware of a book that covers both biomedical image processing and biomedical signal processing. There are a large number of books that focus on the physics of biomedical imaging. This book however, balances the coverage of physics of biomedical imaging with biomedical image processing. … I was impressed by how clearly the concepts are explained. The authors’ ability to introduce concepts at the level appropriate for senior undergraduate or graduate-level students is impressive. … programming questions at the end of the chapter that will give the reader the opportunity to try out the signal processing techniques introduced in the chapter. Also, sample signals are included on the accompanying CD. … I would definitely use this book as my textbook in a biomedical signal-processing course." —Shahram Shirani, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Fundamentals of Biomechanics Ronald L. Huston University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
"This book provides a thorough and easy-to-understand presentation of the fundamentals required to study the mechanics of human motion. I am happy to see an emphasis on the fundamentals of biodynamic modeling and the development of human body models. This should allow readers to more quickly understand and develop models associated with human motion. Huston is a skilled author with the ability to render difficult topics manageable." —James W. Kamman, Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Western Michigan University
"This biomechanics book does indeed lay the ground for learning the fundamentals in biomechanics, which have been lacking for so many years. The book gets away from the static concepts that are quite abundant and dominant topics in previous published biomechanics books and instead focuses on motion, dynamics, and current and practical problems that are relevant to gait analysis, and human joint dynamics. The examples are vivid, intuitive, interesting, and are the product of the author’s rich and exemplary many years of research and teaching. Finally a biomechanics book that deals with dynamics of BIOSYSTEMS in depth. The author has 15 chapters, which can be used in a way to conform to a number of biomechanics course levels or simply be taught in two semesters. The book can be an outstanding tool for those interested in simulation of gait, human joint kinematics, and muscles force identification and modeling in general." —Farid Amirouche, University of Illinois at Chicago

Cell & Tissue Engineering Regenerative Engineering Edited by
Joyce Y. Wong
Cato T. Laurencin and Yusuf Khan
Boston University, Massachusetts, USA
University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, USA
Joseph D. Bronzino
Distinct from tissue engineering, which focuses primarily on the repair of tissues, regenerative engineering focuses on the regeneration of tissues: creating living, functional tissue that has the ability to replace organs that are dysfunctional. The challenge of working in an area like regenerative engineering lies, in part, in the breadth of information required to truly appreciate and begin to think about this field. Regenerative Engineering introduces the field through the presentation of fundamental concepts of cell biology, stem cell science, materials science, and cell-material interactions. It also focuses on specific organ and tissue types and presents up-to-date examples of ongoing work, often in the context of a specific clinical need. Regenerative medicine focuses on the biological aspects of tissue regeneration via stem cells, factors, and cytokines, while tissue engineering focuses on the integration of materials science and life sciences. This book integrates these two areas, presenting each concept in the framework of regenerative engineering.
Simsbury, Connecticut, USA
Donald R. Peterson University of Connecticut, Farmington, USA
Most current applications of biomaterials involve structural functions, even in those organs and systems which are not primarily structural in their nature, or very simple chemical or electrical functions. Complex chemical functions such as those of the liver and complex electrical or electrochemical functions such as those of the brain and sense organs cannot be carried out by biomaterials at this time. With these basic concepts in mind, this book focuses on biomaterials consisting of different materials such as metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite. It highlights the impact of recent advances in the area of nano- and microtechnology on biomaterial design. Catalog no.
