Ebook: Virtual bio-instrumentation: biomedical, clinical, and healthcare applications in LabVIEW

-- Comprehensive LabVIEW design and development guidance for every biomedical engineer working in research, development, or clinical environments.-- Interfacing medical devices with databases, machine vision systems, decision-support tools, even the Internet itself.-- CD-ROM: easy-to-customize VI applications, source code, and evaluation versions of both LabVIEW and BioBench, the add-on toolbox for biomedical VI development.Whether you're working in biomedical research, development, or clinical environments, Virtual Bio-Instrumentation offers you unprecedented power and flexibility in solving a broad range of problems. This is the first comprehensive guide to VBI using the world's #1 graphical programming language for engineers, LabVIEW. Using practical examples and realistic sample applications, this book demonstrates how VBI can not only interface with traditional medical instruments and devices, but also leverage other technologies -- from databases to machine vision to the Internet itself. This book presents a broad range of applications, ranging from laboratory and clinical environment applications to techniques for integrating instruments with patient information systems, computerized maintenance and management systems, even business intelligence and decision support applications. Each application is explained in detail, often with interactive descriptions of how the solution was conceived and developed to meet specific end-user requirements. An accompanying CD-ROM includes all application source code, usable both as a learning tool and as building blocks for new applications. It also contains demo and evaluation versions of several software packages, including LabVIEW6i and BioBench, a commercial add-on toolbox for VBI developers.
