PREFACE
The purpose of the second edition remains the same as the first edition: that is, to
serve as an introduction to and overview of the field of biomedical engineering. Many
chapters have undergone major revision from the previous edition with new endof-chapter problems added. Some chapters were combined and some chapters
were eliminated completely, with several new chapters added to reflect changes
in the field.
Over the past fifty years, as the discipline of biomedical engineering has evolved, it
has become clear that it is a diverse, seemingly all-encompassing field that includes
such areas as bioelectric phenomena, bioinformatics, biomaterials, biomechanics,
bioinstrumentation, biosensors, biosignal processing, biotechnology, computational
biology and complexity, genomics, medical imaging, optics and lasers, radiation
imaging, rehabilitation engineering, tissue engineering, and moral and ethical issues.
Although it is not possible to cover all of the biomedical engineering domains in this
textbook, we have made an effort to focus on most of the major fields of activity in
which biomedical engineers are engaged.
The text is written primarily for engineering students who have completed differential equations and a basic course in statics. Students in their sophomore year or
junior year should be adequately prepared for this textbook. Students in the biological
sciences, including those in the fields of medicine and nursing, can also read and
understand this material if they have the appropriate mathematical background.
Although we do attempt to be fairly rigorous with our discussions and proofs, our
ultimate aim is to help students grasp the nature of biomedical engineering. Therefore, we have compromised when necessary and have occasionally used less rigorous
mathematics in order to be more understandable. A liberal use of illustrative examples
amplifies concepts and develops problem-solving skills. Throughout the text,
MATLAB1 (a matrix equation solver) and SIMULINK1 (an extension to MATLAB1

for simulating dynamic systems) are used as computer tools to assist with problem
solving. The Appendix provides the necessary background to use MATLAB1 and
SIMULINK1. MATLAB1 and SIMULINK1 are available from:

Chapters are written to provide some historical perspective of the major developments in a specific biomedical engineering domain as well as the fundamental principles that underlie biomedical engineering design, analysis, and modeling procedures
in that domain. In addition, examples of some of the problems encountered, as well as
the techniques used to solve them, are provided. Selected problems, ranging from
simple to difficult, are presented at the end of each chapter in the same general order
as covered in the text.
The material in this textbook has been designed for a one-semester, two-semester,
or three-quarter sequence depending on the needs and interests of the instructor.
Chapter 1 provides necessary background to understand the history and appreciate
the field of biomedical engineering. Chapter 2 presents the vitally important chapter
on biomedically-based morals and ethics. Basic anatomy and physiology are provided
in Chapter 3. Chapters 4-10 provide the basic core biomedical engineering areas:
biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, biomaterials, tissue engineering, bioinstrumentation, biosensors, and biosignal processing. To assist instructors in planning the
sequence of material they may wish to emphasize, it is suggested that the chapters on
bioinstrumentation, biosensors, and biosignal processing should be covered together
as they are interdependent on each other. The remainder of the textbook presents
material on biomedical technology (Chapters 12-17).
A website is available at http://intro-bme-book.bme.uconn.edu/ that provides an
errata and extra material.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many people have helped us in writing this textbook. Well deserved credit is due to
the many contributors who provided chapters and worked under a very tight timeline.
Special thanks go to our publisher, Elsevier, especially for the tireless work of the
editors, Christine Minihane and Shoshanna Grossman. In addition, we appreciate the
work of Karen Forster, the project manager, and Kristin Macek, who supervised the
production process.
A great debt of gratitude is extended to Joel Claypool, the editor of the first edition
of the book and Diane Grossman from Academic Press. From an initial conversation
over coffee in Amsterdam in 1996 to publication in 2000 required a huge effort.
