Von der hinteren Coverseite

Biomedical and Clinical Cryogenics: Theory, Current Technology Advances, and Future Perspectives presents the complexity of cryogenic engineering applications in both medical and clinical settings. The book demonstrates both a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the ongoing new applications and their cutting-edge breakthroughs within the biomedical engineering sector. It contributes to the rapidly emerging and expanding field of cryogenics by emphasizing the complexity of associated mechanisms and interactions. In six chapters, this book collects, investigates, and critically discusses the state-of-the-art cryogenic practices, along with the challenges and perspectives of the most common applications. It not only provides an insight into the origins and evolution of cryogenics, but also presents the biomedical engineering applications of cryogenics like cryosurgery, cryotherapy, and cryopreservation. By using cryogenics sciences, new milestones in medicine and human-life expectancy can be significantly increased. Since this is highly interdisciplinary content, this book is a valuable resource for biomedical engineers, health professionals, scientists and researchers, students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.
