N. Ghista (Based on the Opening Address at the International Conference on Biomedical Physics \u0026amp; Mathematics of the Gauss Symposium, August 2, 1993 at Ludwig Maximillians Universitiit, Munchen, Germany) The traditional practice of Biomedical physics has now expanded to involve multiple aspects of medical practice: development of systems and technology in medical monitoring (e. g., PET visualization of brain receptors to identify neuronal dysfunction), diagnosis (e. g., computer-aided echocardiographic texture analysis to detect myocardial infarcts), organ- support (e. g., peritoneal dialysis), and therapeutic function (e. g., encapsulation of insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells for treatment of diabetes). However, is Biomedical Physics a relatively new field? Not really, although we may have opened up new vistas of it, as presented in this book. Let us recall some early and well-known physician-cum-biomedical physicists. Both physical and physiological scientists will know of Jean Poiseuille (1799-1869), physician and physiologist; he measured blood pressure with a mercury manometer while being a medical student in Paris, received his medical degree in 1928, and then went on to describe the law of viscous flow (applicable to arteriolar flow).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284758356119,"sku":"9783322850195","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783322850195.webp?v=1769282139","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/biomedical-and-life-physics-proceedings-of-the-second-gauss-symposium-2-8th-august-1993-munich-9783322850195","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
