Master Artificial Tactile Sensing Design for Biomedical Engineering Applications

Filled with high-quality photographs and illustrations, including some in color, this definitive guide details the design and manufacturing of artificial tactile systems and their applications in surgical procedures. Artificial Tactile Sensing in Biomedical Engineering explains the fundamentals of the human sense of touch and the latest techniques for artificially replicating it. The book describes the mechanistic principles of static and dynamic tactile sensors and discusses cutting-edge biomedical applications, including minimally invasive surgery, tumor detection, robotic surgery, and surgical simulations.

Artificial Tactile Sensing in Biomedical Engineering covers:

  • Capacitive, magnetic, inductive, conductive elastomeric, optical, and thermal sensors
  • Strain gauge and piezoelectric sensors
  • Tactile sensing in surgery and palpation
  • Tactile image information through palpation
  • Tumor detection via artificial tactile sensing
  • Estimating tumor parameters using the finite element method and an artificial neural network
  • Determination of mechanical properties of biological tissues
  • Tactile sensing in remote and robotic surgery
  • Haptics application in surgical simulation

Biomaterials: Silver Jubilee Compendium
The journal <b>Biomaterials</b> was launched in 1980. The subject of biomaterials science was then in its infancy, being largely cofined to the study of the characteristics of materials used for medical devices.Twenty-five years on, we can truly say that biomaterials science has matured at an incredible rate and now represents a formidable sector that bridges the materials sciences, advanced medical therapies, and molecular and cell sciences.This <b>Silver Jubilee Compendium</b> consists of reprinted versions of the top 25 papers, published during these 25 years, as judged by an international panel of biomaterials scientists.This book is published as a landmark in biomaterials science and it is to be hoped that it will serve as a stimulus to young biomaterials scientists of the early twenty-first century for their pioneering work of the future.

Chitosan Based Biomaterials Volume 2: Tissue Engineering and Therapeutics
<p><i>Chitosan Based Biomaterials: Tissue Engineering and Therapeutics, Volume 2, </i>provides the latest information on chitosan, a natural polymer derived from the marine material chitin. Chitosan displays unique properties, most notably biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can also be easily tuned to modify its structure or properties, making chitosan an excellent candidate as a biomaterial. Consequently, chitosan is being developed for many biomedical functions, ranging from tissue engineering and implant coatings to drug and gene delivery. This book provides readers with a full coverage of the applications of chitosan-based biomaterials. </p>
