Considering the infection with the new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which may evolve into CoronaVirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the pandemic that is active, standards, guidelines and recommendations have been issued by diverse entities at the governmental, professional and scientific levels.
A Medicina Nuclear (MN) está em constante evolução, desafiando os profissionais a dominar conhecimentos e competências modernas e dinâmicas. A gestão diária em MN é complexa, implicando a interligação de múltiplos aspetos como: doentes, profissionais de saúde, informação, procedimentos, tempo e radiação. Nesse contexto, tem vindo a ser proposto o recurso a filosofias de gestão, como a filosofia Lean, para apoio...
Nuclear Medicine (NM) is in constant technological evolution, challenging often professionals to be up to most recent standards and practices. In this sense, teaching NM should not be limited on the transmission of technical and scientific knowledge but also on opening minds to, for example, different management philosophies. Therefore, Nuclear Medicine students should be capable to change behaviours/practices ...
Com o crescente uso médico das radiações ionizantes, tanto ao nível dos meios complementares de diagnóstico (ex: Medicina Nuclear e Radiologia), como ao nível terapêutico (ex: Radioterapia), as preocupações inerentes ao aumento da exposição da população a este tipo de radiações têm aumentado. Apesar dessas preocupações, a literatura carece ainda de evidência científica suficiente para esclarecer a relação entre...
This study investigated to what extent a single exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation can induce genotoxic damage in irradiated adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) and its non-irradiated F1 progeny. Four groups of adult zebrafish were irradiated with a single dose of X-rays at 0 (control), 100, 500 and 1000 mGy, respectively, and couples of each group were allowed to reproduce following irradiation. Blood of pa...
Objective The present study is aimed at contributing to identify the most appropriate OSEM parameters to generate myocardial perfusion imaging reconstructions with the best diagnostic quality, correlating them with patients’ body mass index. Materials and Methods The present study included 28 adult patients submitted to myocardial perfusion imaging in a public hospital. The OSEM method was utilized in the image...
A utilização de ferramentas tecnológicas no Ensino Superior como metodologia de ensino/aprendizagem apresenta-se cada vez mais generalizada. Consciente do facto, a Área Técnico-Científica de Medicina Nuclear da ESTSP.IPP, tem vindo a evoluir na integração gradual de algumas ferramentas tecnológicas na sua realidade específica quotidiana, sempre no sentido de aumentar a qualidade dos serviços que presta e a efic...
Translational research is changing the practice of modern medicine and the way in which health problems are approached and solved. The use of small-animal models in basic and preclinical sciences is a major keystone for these kinds of research and development strategies, representing a bridge between discoveries at the molecular level and clinical implementation in diagnostics and/or therapeutics. The developme...
The present dimension of the concept “Telemedicine” includes the application of mobile communication technologies and information systems to provide Health Care at distance. In the medical imaging field, and particularly in Nuclear Medicine, this concept is broader, involving the application of a variety of software and mobile applications at several steps of the process: digital imaging display and processing,...
