Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a timely snapshot of research, technologies and best practices in the broad area of bioengineering and clinical engineering. It reports on advances in biomechanics, biomedical image processing, biomaterials and tissue engineering. Further, it covers applications of artificial intelligence in biology and medicine, and instrumentation. Gathering the first volume of the proceedings of the XXIV Argentinian Congress of Bioengineering (SABI 2023), held on October 3–6, 2023, in Buenos Aires, Argentina - and organised by the Sociedad Argentina de Bioingeniería, this book provides an extensive source of information for both researchers and professionals in biomedical and clinical engineering.
