Sensors in Biomedical Applications presents information on sensor types in a comprehensive and easy to understand format. The first four chapters concentrate on the basics, lending an understanding to operation and design principles of sensor elements. They introduce basic terms, sensor technologies, sensor structure and sensing effects. The next three chapters describe application possibilities, such as physical sensors, sensors for measuring chemical qualities and biosensors. The final chapters address biocompatability, discuss future trends, and furnish a convenient glossary of acronyms.
