Aquisição, processamento e análise de imagens de medicina nuclear

Abstract

Este relatório pretende ser um documento reflexivo e representativo dos conhecimentos adquiridos e das actividades desenvolvidas ao longo do Estágio Profissional em Aplicações Clínicas de Medicina Nuclear na Philips S.A. Deste modo, após uma contextualização teórica sobre a Medicina Nuclear que serviu de ponto de partida para o meu percurso nesta área, serão apresentadas as ferramentas de trabalho, ou seja, os equipamentos de Medicina Nuclear da Philips, a Câmara Gama e o sistema PET-CT, bem como os softwares de aquisição e processamento de imagem destes dois sistemas. A utilidade da imagem de medicina nuclear para diagnóstico clínico depende da forma como esta é adquirida e do processamento que sofre após a sua reconstrução. Como tal, o especialista de aplicações tem um papel determinante na optimização e personalização dos protocolos de aquisição de imagem dos clientes e na exploração dos métodos de processamento e quantificação de estudos de medicina nuclear junto dos prestadores de cuidados de saúde. Neste sentido, este trabalho apresentará alguns dos protocolos de aquisição e processamento de imagem que foram desenvolvidos com a minha colaboração, no serviço de Medicina Nuclear da Fundação Champalimaud. Os estudos apresentados têm como objectivo ser um exemplo ilustrativo do meu trabalho como Especialista de Aplicações de Medicina Nuclear e podem ser utilizados como referência para os utilizadores da Câmara Gama e da unidade PET-CT da Philips. Assim, estes doze meses de estágio representaram uma das maiores experiências da minha formação, pois nela foram desenvolvidas competências profissionais, pessoais e sociais que serão um trunfo no percurso como Engenheira Biomédica e Biofísica e que se encontram aqui afiguradas através dos conhecimentos teóricos e casos práticos relatados e pelo entusiasmo como são descritos.

This document is a reflection and an illustration of the knowledge and the activities developed during my clinical applications trainee in Nuclear Medicine at Philips S.A. Initially, I did an overview about Nuclear Medicine and after that I described my working tools, in other words, the Nuclear Medicine Devices of Philips: Gama Camera and PET-CT System, as well as the acquisition and processing software of both systems. The utility of Nuclear Medicine image in medical diagnostic depends on how the image is acquired and processed after its reconstruction. Thus, the Application Specialist plays a crucial role in the optimization and customization of image acquisition protocols of the customer. In addition, the Application Specialist should help the customer to acquire new studies that will allow the development of image processing and quantification strategies. Therefore, this document will present some of the acquisition and processing protocols developed with my collaboration in Nuclear Medicine Department of Champalimaud Foundation, in Lisbon. The purpose of the described studies is to be an illustrative example of my work as an Application Specialist of Nuclear Medicine and also be used as a reference to the Philips Gamma Camera and PET-CT users. In conclusion, I think that these twelve months of trainee have been one of the greatest experiences of my training, because they allowed me to develop my professional, personal and social skills which will help me grow as Biophysics and Biomedical Engineer. The acquired skills are presented throughout on this document with the knowledge and the study cases as well as the enthusiasm of how they are described.
