This is the eBook version of the print title. The eBook edition does not provide access to the content of the CD ROMs that accompanies the print book.

Bringing the power of virtual instrumentation to the biomedical community.

Applications across diverse medical specialties
Detailed design guides for LabVIEW and BioBench applications
Hands-on problem-solving throughout the book
Laboratory, clinical, and healthcare applications
Numerous VI's with source code, plus several demos, are available on the book's web site

Virtual instrumentation allows medical researchers and practitioners to combine the traditional diagnostic tools with advanced technologies such as databases, Active X, and the Internet. In both laboratory and clinical environments, users can interact with a wealth of disparate systems, facilitating better, faster, and more informed decision making. Virtual Bio-Instrumentation: Biomedical, Clinical, and Healthcare Applications in LabVIEW is the first book of its kind to apply VI technology to the biomedical field.

Hands-on problems throughout the book demonstrate immediate practical uses
Examples cover a variety of medical specialties
Detailed design instructions give the inside view of LabVIEW and BioBench applications

Both students and practicing professionals will appreciate the practical applications offered for modeling fundamental physiology, advanced systems analysis, medical device development and testing, and even hospital management and clinical engineering scenarios.
