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 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 state-of-the-art cryogenic practices, along with the challenges and perspectives of the most common applications. 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, researchers, students, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.
