 Excellent book - But it could use a "cosmetic" update Feb 15, 2000
By John Witzel
"John Witzel"
Good subject coverage, knowledgeable author, and plenty of uncluttered figures makes this book very worthwhile. The only thing missing from this excellent book is an update. Although this is the third edition (1998), almost all of the equipment photographs are from the early-to-mid 1970's. An extensive and broad Suggested Reading section follows most chapters but again far far too many references are to early 1970's books and manuals. An update could earn this book a 5+ rating.

 Update drastically overdue Aug 25, 2007
By J. Michael Shepherd
"isomeraser"
While I consider this book one of the cornerstones of BMET education, a comprehensive update is very overdue. In addition to this edition, I also posess the first edition of the Brown and Carr book, and while that edition is considerably smaller, most of the information, figures, and photographs are reproduced in the fourth edition.
Granted, much of the information is still valid, but it does not truly represent the state of the field today. Their cause would be helped if they showed more accurate representations of what constitutes standard equipment of today. Additionally the authors spend a valuable amount of time explaining the theories behind measurement methods and electronic theories, the technology described is invariably that of the 1970s with little time or attention spent on what is in use now.
An aspiring Biomedical Equipment Technician should read this book, but should bear in mind that it will only go so far in preparing them for the modern day BMET field. I would love to see Brown and Carr throw out all of the figures and photographs for the fifth edition, just to make them actually re-visit the state-of-the-art.

 Pleased Feb 15, 2008
By db
I was happy with this purchase. Other than being a softcover, this intl. version is basically the same book as the more expensive U.S. hardcover edition.

 Not the right edition Jan 23, 2009
By Todd Miles
It took a couple of weeks to receive the book. I ordered the fourth edition but received the second edition. I'll probably just keep the book because my class already started.
