Abstract

         Medical diagnosis is set to discover the cause of a patient’s symptoms and to find the right treatment. An accurate medical diagnosis made in a timely manner is therefore the key to effective medical interventions and the subsequent survivorship. to address this unmet need, we gathered the world-renowned experts in this field to co-edit this book. Three major parts are organized in this book, including Part I: Fundamentals of biosensors, Part II: State-of-the-art biosensing technology, and Part III: Clinical practice with medical diagnostics. We expect this book will bring readers: (a) the state-of-the-art biosensing technologies developed in broad fields, (b) specific examples of novel biosensors used in medical diagnosis, and (c) a step-by-step guidance of micro- and nano-fabrications in current biosensors. We also hope readers may eventually find this book not only enjoyable but also informative as a tool book.

中文介紹

　　醫療診斷旨在發現病人的病因並找到正確的治療方法。因此，及時做出準確的醫療診斷是達成有效的治療和良好預後的關鍵。為了達成此一需求，我們召集了該領域的知名專家共同編撰本書。本書共分為三個主要部分，其中第一部分描述生物傳感器的基礎知識，第二部分則介紹目前最新的生物傳感技術，第三部分則聚焦在醫療診斷的臨床應用。我們預期這本書將可帶給讀者：（a）在不同領域中所開發的最新生物傳感技術，（b）用於醫療診斷之新型生物傳感器的具體實例，以及（c）分步指導當前生物傳感器中所需使用到的奈微製程技術。最終，我們當然更期望讀者們會發現這本書不僅易讀並且可提供個人如工具書般的豐富知識。
