Clinical Applications of NTC Thermistors
Thermistors are certainly the most used transducers for medical temperature measurements. Their properties facilitate clinically difficult measurements that include: hypothermia, transcutaneous measurements during cardiopulmonary bypass, testicular temperature measurements in reproductive medicine, continuous monitoring of preterm infants and personal heat strain monitoring in occupational medicine. Thermistors are also extensively used in a variety of clinical and…

Types of Transducers used in Biomedical Measurement Applications
What is a transducer? A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy or variable into another form of energy or variable. A transducer is required to convert physiological variables into electrical signals which are easier to be further processed. We have a number of factors which are considered in choice of a…
