Beskrivelse
Case Studies in Mathematical Modelling for Medical Devices: How Pulse Oximeters, Laser Doppler Flowmeters and Fetal Monitors Work focuses on three medical devices used to monitor some aspect of physiological status: pulse oximetry, laser Doppler flowmetry and Doppler ultrasound fetal heart rate monitoring. The three case studies serve as the basis for readers to be able to generalize modelling to other medical devices. The book introduces mathematical topics that appear in many areas of science and engineering by demonstrating the value of being able to model how each of these devices work. This requires a brief description of their operating principles before looking at the appropriate mathematics. Containing 3 parts about each medical device, the book begins with a chapter on probability distributions that will be used in oximetry and laser Doppler flowmetry parts.
This book is for MSc and PhD students in biomedical engineering and those interested in the mathematics behind the design of the instrumentation that they use.
