The book is composed of five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the development of biomedical sensoring and detection technology; Chapter 2 describes fundamental knowledge of modern sensoring and detection technologies; Chapter 3 describes the physical sensor and its detection technology; Chapter 4 describes chemical sensors and detection techniques; Chapter 5 describes the biosensors and detection technology. Some content in this book belongs to the international research frontier.Biomedical sensoring and detection technology promotes the reorganization of biomedical information transmission, processing and perception, as well as the development of biomedical engineering and the interdisciplinary field.

Biomedical Sensors and Measurement is an interdisciplinary book combining electronics with biology and medicine. It gives an over-view of the concept and principle of biomedical sensors and measure-ment. First, the basic theory and technology are explained, followed by details of the physical sensors, chemical sensors, biosensors and their typical applications in biomedicine. Furthermore, the interface technology of the sensors and the typical measurement systems is presented. The large amount of vivid and specific figures and formu-las will help to deepen the understanding of the fundamental and new applications involving biomedical sensors and measurement technology.

The book is intended for biomedical engineers, medical physicists and other researchers and professionals in biomedicine-related specialties, especially interdisciplinary studies.
