  • Abstract
    Presents a review of "Clinical Engineering: A Handbook for Clinical and Biomedical Engineers" (Taktak, A.F.G., Eds., et al; 2014). The book consists of four sections, with a totalThis textbook is primarily an overview of different topics relating to clinical engineering as seen and reported by the 35 contributors. It fails as a handbook in that none of the chapters are sufficiently in depth on their subjects to be a reference for clinical (or biomedical) engineers. With its uneven coverage of topics, the textbook does not fulfill the needs of those looking for assistance on the topics involved, which might qualify this text as a handbook covering the vocabulary and profession of clinical engineering.
