Abstract :
A visit to any modern hospital will reveal the enormous amount of electronics equipment used in modern medicine. Apart from the items that have hit the headlines, such as implanted pacemakers and new types of X-ray equipment, there has been a great deal of progress in other, less publicised fields, such as the treatment of incontinence and ultrasonic diagnostics.
