Medical instrumentation : application and design / John G. Webster, editor ; contributing authors, John W. Clark, Jr. ... [et al.]. - 3rd ed. - New York : Wiley, c1998. - xix, 691 p. : ill. 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This text describes the principles, applications and design of the medical instrumentation most commonly used in hospitals. Because equipment changes with time, the author stresses fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment, thus avoiding detailed descriptions and photographs of specific models. Design principles are emphasized so that a scientist with only some background in electronics should gain enough information to design instruments that may not be commercially available
