Title :
Technology ´89: medical electronics
Abstract :
Advances in medical technology during 1988 are highlighted. These include: the demonstration of a SQUID (superconductive quantum interference device)-based system that can localize neural activity to within 3 mm; greatly improved implantable defibrillators; highly realistic 3-D imaging of the body; and a wealth of novel laser applications.<>
