N. Ghista (Based on the Opening Address at the International Conference on Biomedical Physics \u0026amp; Mathematics of the Gauss Symposium, August 2, 1993 at Ludwig Maximillians Universitiit, Munchen, Germany) The traditional practice of Biomedical physics has now expanded to involve multiple aspects of medical practice: development of systems and technology in medical monitoring (e. g. , PET visualization of brain receptors to identify neuronal dysfunction), diagnosis (e. g. , computer-aided echocardiographic texture analysis to detect myocardial infarcts), organ­ support (e. g. , peritoneal dialysis), and therapeutic function (e. g. , encapsulation of insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells for treatment of diabetes). However, is Biomedical Physics a relatively new field? Not really, although we may have opened up new vistas of it, as presented in this book. Let us recall some early and well-known physician-cum-biomedical physicists. Both physical and physiological scientists will know of Jean Poiseuille (1799-1869), physician and physiologist; he measured blood pressure with a mercury manometer while being a medical student in Paris, received his medical degree in 1928, and then went on to describe the law of viscous flow (applicable to arteriolar flow).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Vieweg+Teubner Verlag\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783322850195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783322850195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-322-85017-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 545\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Vieweg+Teubner Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309349728396,"sku":"9783322850195","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783322850195.jpg?v=1754965750","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783322850195","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
