From the reviews:
“This textbook by three scientists from Cyprus, Israel and Italy, fills a valuable niche for readers interested in medical informatics. … Although the book’s very broad sweep means that each individual topic receives limited space, the references point to sources for more information. The logical use of this book would be in courses on medical informatics. It is appropriate for readers who have both medical and informatics backgrounds.” (E. P. Hoffer, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
