The primary objective of this book is to compile the latestresearch topics on biomedical therapy, bioeffects and modelingtechniques that utilize vibration and acoustics. This book includesthree parts. The first part is dedicated to therapy, which iscomprised of five chapters: two chapters on the respiratory system,one chapter on the nervous system and two on cell culture.

The second part in two chapters explores the bioeffects ofvibration and acoustics on human body parts including the effect ofoccupational vibration exposure on different parts of the body. Thethird part demonstrates how the concepts of vibration and acousticsare implemented through modeling of various biological andbiomedical systems and elements. It consists of two sections. Inthree chapters, the first section of part three focuses on therespiratory system and vocal cords, while section two, also inthree chapters, focuses on the MRI system and biosensors.

Readers will find this text a valuable asset in keeping themabreast of the latest techniques in these area. It will appeal notonly to fellow researchers, but also to clinicians, practitioners,lecturers and students in this exciting and vital field of study.
