Abstract(s)
A área da imagiologia está continuamente em crescimento tecnológico desenvolvendo
novas técnicas de diagnóstico médico, de forma a fornecer ao médico uma imagem
visual das diversas partes do corpo humano e das suas funcionalidades. Na área da medicina
nuclear os exames de diagnóstico minimamente invasivos requerem a administração
intravenosa de um radiofármaco. A preparação das doses radioativas é realizada
por técnicos especializados na área de medicina nuclear. Durante a preparação das doses
são aplicadas técnicas de radioprotecção, com o propósito de minimizar a exposição dos
técnicos à radiação ionizante.
Este estudo tem como principal objetivo a projeção de um ambiente virtual que realize
a simulação das fases necessárias para a partição dos radionuclídeos, tendo por base a
utilização de um braço robótico, o qual será utilizado em cada um dos processos. Durante
este trabalho irá ser realizada a análise dos processos de preparação das dosagens
administradas nos exames de diagnóstico. As fases estudadas irão ser traduzidas a processos
mecânicos para a sua melhor perceção. Os materiais e equipamentos necessários
foram projetados em modelos virtuais a 3D, tendo posteriormente os modelos desenvolvidos
sido importados através da interface de simulação para serem distribuídos e programados
para uma maior aproximação à realidade. Este estudo foi desenvolvido em
colaboração com a empresa Dr. Campos Costa.

The preparation of the radioactive doses is performed by specialists in the field of nuclear medicine. During the preparation of the doses are applied protection techniques in order to minimize the exposure of these technicians to the ionizing radiation. The main objective of this work is to design a virtual environment to carry out the simulation of the required stages for the partition of radionuclides, based on the use of a robotic arm which will simulate each one of the processes. During this study, the process of preparation the dosages administrated in the diagnostic exams was analyzed, being posteriorly translated into mechanical processes for a better perception. The materials and equipment needed were designed in virtual 3D models, and subsequently, the developed models were imported into the simulation platform in order to be distributed and programmed to achieve a closest approximation to reality. This study was developed in collaboration with the company Dr. Campos Costa.
