This ebook presents readers with an integrative assessment of the most recent learn and advancements within the huge box of biomedical engineering. all of the chapters bargains a well timed assessment written by way of major biomedical engineers and goals at displaying how the convergence of medical and engineering fields with medication has created a brand new foundation for essentially fixing difficulties bearing on human well-being, well being and illness. whereas a number of the most recent frontiers of biomedicine, comparable to neuroscience and regenerative medication, have gotten more and more depending on new principles and instruments from different disciplines, the paradigm shift because of technological recommendations within the fields of knowledge technological know-how, nanotechnology, and robotics is establishing new possibilities in healthcare, along with dramatically altering the methods we really perform technology. while, a brand new iteration of engineers, fluent in lots of varied clinical “languages,” is developing completely new fields of study that strategy the “old” questions from a brand new and holistic perspective. The ebook stories at the medical revolutions within the box of biomedicine by means of describing the most recent applied sciences and findings built on the interface among technological know-how and engineering. It addresses scholars, fellows, and school and investigators trying to find new demanding situations within the wide biomedical engineering fields.

Example text
PET imaging has high sensitivity, however, it can provide only spatial resolutions in the range of millimeters [70]. On the other hand, optical fluorescence can provide subcellular resolution for in vivo window chamber imaging or ex vivo imaging for preclinical studies [71]. However, it has a lower tissue penetration than PET because of the strong absorption of nearinfrared (NIR) and visible light in living tissues. Thus, the combination of PET and fluorescence imaging modalities can provide high sensitivity, high resolution and deep tissue penetration.

Jo et al. J. Kim et al. studies in experimental models and clinical trials have demonstrated that islet transplantation represents an alternative approach to insulin therapy since islet transplantation provides a better normalization of metabolic control [3]. For clinical islet transplantation, the procedure involves infusion of isolated islets in the liver via the portal vein.
