Handbook of Physics in Medicine and Biology

Editat de Robert Splinter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 apr 2010
In considering ways that physics has helped advance biology and medicine, what typically comes to mind are the various tools used by researchers and clinicians. We think of the optics put to work in microscopes, endoscopes, and lasers; the advanced diagnostics permitted through magnetic, x-ray, and ultrasound imaging; and even the nanotools, that allow us to tinker with molecules. We build these instruments in accordance with the closest thing to absolute truths we know, the laws of physics, but seldom do we apply those same constants of physics to the study of our own carbon-based beings, such as fluidics applied to the flow of blood, or the laws of motion and energy applied to working muscle.


Instead of considering one aspect or the other, Handbook of Physics in Medicine and Biology explores the full gamut of physics’ relationship to biology and medicine in more than 40 chapters, written by experts from the lab to the clinic.


The book begins with a basic description of specific biological features and delves into the physics of explicit anatomical structures starting with the cell. Later chapters look at the body's senses, organs, and systems, continuing to explain biological functions in the language of physics.


The text then details various analytical modalities such as imaging and diagnostic methods. A final section turns to future perspectives related to tissue engineering, including the biophysics of prostheses and regenerative medicine.




The editor’s approach throughout is to address the major healthcare challenges, including tissue engineering and reproductive medicine, as well as development of artificial organs and prosthetic devices. The contents are organized by organ type and biological function, which is given a clear description in terms of electric, mechanical, thermodynamic, and hydrodynamic properties. In addition to the physical descriptions, each chapter discusses principles of related clini

Descriere

Featuring leading researchers and clinicians, this volume covers materials associated with replacement or repair of tissues or entire tissue structures. The book begins with a description of specific biological features and delves into the physics of explicit anatomical structures starting with the cell. The contents are then organized by organ type and biological function. In addition to physical descriptions, each chapter discusses principles of related diagnostic methods and technological aspects of therapeutic applications. A final section on regenerative engineering emphasizes biochemical and physiochemical factors important in improving or replacing biological functions.
