I'm a mechanical engineer in college right now with a heavy interest in bio-medical equipment.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books that would give me a broad overview of medical equipment... like how some of the most well known machinery like CT, MRI, etc. work. I basically want a book that can fuel my interest on the matter, so any suggestions are welcome.
