Biomedicinska elektronika

He started lecturing in this field as early as 1970 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, while he started working on the development of biomedical sciences ten years earlier. The book "Biomedical Electronics" in addition to the description of biomedical electronic instrumentation also provides elements of physiology, especially electrophysiology with a biocybernetic approach, in order to make the phenomena that occur during the measurement of physiological parameters more understandable, and also to facilitate communication between doctors and engineers. Thus, the book describes the sources of bioelectric potentials: neuronal structures and muscle potentials, which occur due to their action and how they are measured. In addition to measuring bioelectric potentials used in electrocardiography, electroencephalography, myography, etc. methods of measuring biological impedances that are used in plethysmography, respiration and rheography are also described. A particularly large chapter is represented by electrical stimulation, which today represents an important contribution in terms of improving or replacing the functions of some organs. External stimulation of skeletal muscles in paraplegics is described, followed by implanted pacemakers, urogenital tract, respiratory organs, as well as stimulators for pain relief, sleep induction, etc. Defibrillators used in patient resuscitation are also described, as well as devices for measuring blood pressure, blood flow, respiration with measurement of the composition of exhaled air: oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc. Five chapters are dedicated to two-dimensional images for diagnostic purposes, such as images based on ultrasound and X-rays with special emphasis on tomography.
