Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics (Biomedical Engineering)

Although the book is intended for persons in the biological sciences it is very unlikely to be of much help to those in medical and clinical practice hoping to understand better the applications and interpretation of bioimpedance. Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics is unique in providing all the information needed to follow the interdisciplinary subjects of bioimpedance and bioelectricity without having to be a graduate student in the relevant fields. For the first time, one book offers the broadest possible introduction to all use and effects of electrical fields in tissue, dealing with the most basic chemical and physical functions of life. Very few books have covered the dielectric and electrochemical side of the subject, despite its importance; Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics does. It also includes the electrical engineering concepts of network theory and the complex math needed. Up to now, there has been work done by physicists and engineers on one side, doctors and biologists on the other, this book fills the gap, providing the knowledge for both groups.

"Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics will be essential reading for graduate and postgraduate students in biomedical engineering or biophysics. Scientific personnel in research institutes and industrial research departments (producing medical and electrochemical instrumentation) will find the book invaluable. Medical doctors in neurology, cardiology, dermatology, electrophysiology, cell physiology and clinical chemistry will also find this a complete reference tool."--BOOK JACKET Bioimpedance, bioelectricity and the electrical properties of tissue are much about the same things.
