...if you are wanting detail about the physiological mechanisms behind commonly encountered clinical tests then this is well worth a read... -Anthony Starr, Junior Practitioner, Cumbria, UK What makes this book particularly unique and potentially attractive to technically oriented clinicians is the number of chapters organized by medical subspecialty as opposed to simply by organ systems. ... this book offers a well-organized and expanded treatment of virtually all of the common and specialty physiological measurements currently available. It should also serve as a good primer for those relatively new to the field. -Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology, May/June 2015
