It is not every day that we report about the release of books, but this one caught our attention. Ira Brodsky has written a book called "The History and Future of Medical Technology". In the introductory chapter available on the publisher's website, the book is described as a "comprehensive history of the evolution of medical technology", with the book focusing on "systems, instruments and devices". We are eagerly awaiting a copy of the book, and we will get back to you with a review once it has been read. From the publisher's webpage:

The History and Future of Medical Technology tells the story behind today's advanced medical technologies: how they were developed, how they work their magic, and how they are likely to evolve over the next several years. The book gives readers a front row view of the discoveries and inventions that transformed medicine into an exact science. It demystifies the technologies found in modern hospitals and clinics - showing how they satisfy real and pressing needs. And it covers the latest advances in areas including robotic surgery, brain-computer interface chips, artificial retinas, and nanomedicine.
