Good introduction for Biomedical Engineering Technology

Biomedical Engineering Technology aims to educate future professionals that will work with medical equipment ensuring their correct calibration and safety.This book is an excellent introduction to this profession at the same time that provides a good overview of the basic measurement principles and techniques. The book covers important issues such as safety, transducers and the analysis of the main pieces of medical equipment. However, the book does not go in-depth into the details of the medical instrumentation. Some of the topics analyzed in the book, such as oscillators, power amplifiers, etc.,, can be found in any general electronics book and their space could be better used by more detailed explanations focused on medical equipment. Nevertheless, Aston's book is a good introduction to the field.
