This study aimed to analyse radiographers’ access to patient clinical information in the context of clinical practice in Portugal. Through a questionnaire applied to participants at the XX Congresso Nacional da ATARP (2023), it was found that a significant proportion of professionals (66.9%) identified limitations in accessing clinical data essential for a safe and effective performance of radiological examinat...
Enquadramento: A Ressonância Magnética (RM) apresenta limitações na avaliação da extensão do tumor cerebral, na previsão do grau e avaliação da resposta ao tratamento. Técnicas avançadas, como a imagem ponderada em perfusão (PWI), espectroscopia (MRS), imagem ponderada em difusão (DWI) entre outras, permitem ultrapassar essas dificuldades. [1] Objetivo: Apontar as mais-va...

Pulmonary Angiography by Computed Tomography is the most requested exam to detect a pulmonary embolism. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of some parameters of Pulmonary Angiography’s by Computed Tomography with the final image quality. Materials and Methods: An...
Imaging in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) plays a crucial role in patient care, chest radiography is the most requested exam for COVID – 19 patients in ICU context. The high risk of exposure to the virus may influence the quality of the exams. The objective of this study is to compare the fulfillment of the criteria for good performance in chest radiography in the ICU, before and during the critical phase of the...

A imagem nas Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) desempenha um papel crucial na assistência ao paciente, sendo a radiografia ao tórax o exame mais requisitado aos pacientes COVID-19 em contexto de UCI. O elevado risco de exposição ao vírus poderá influenciar a qualidade de execução dos exames. O objetivo deste estudo é comparar o cumprimento dos critérios de boa realização em radiografia do tórax em UCI, antes...
The high contrast resolution, possibility of tissue characterization, multiplanar imaging, lack of ionizing radiation and the increasing availability of scanners, made MRI an important tool in female pelvis diagnostic, specifically in ovarian and uterine pathology. Fasting, empty bladder and compression by a pelvic band, reduce the movement and phase artifacts caused by peristaltic movements of the intestine an...
O estudo por imagem em oncologia assume elevada preponderância na decisão e orientação da ação médica. Acompanhando o valor de tal decisão, a ressonância magnética (RM) mostra-se cada vez mais como a valência imagiológica capaz de fornecer um conjunto de informações para a decisão clínica.
