1. Ultrasonic method of microvibration detection: part II - additional processing method and applications
Abstract Introduction In the last 28 years, the scientific community has been using elastography to evaluate the mechanical properties of biological tissue. The aim of this work was the optimization of the UDmV method, presented in Part I of the series, by means of modifying the technique employed to generate the reference sine and cosine functions, used fo

2. Development of a mouse computational model for MCNPx based on Digimouse (r) images and dosimetric assays
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to create and test a new mice 3D-voxel phantom named DM_BRA for mice and human first-estimation radiopharmaceutical dosimetry. Previously, the article reviews the state-of-art in animal model development. Images from Digimouse CT database were used in the segmentation and on the generation of the voxelized phantom. Simulati

3. Volumetric T1 and T2 magnetic resonance brain toolkit for relaxometry mapping simulation
Abstract Introduction Relaxometry images are an important magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique in the clinical routine. Many diagnoses are based on the relaxometry maps to infer abnormal state in the tissue characteristic relaxation constant. In order to study the performance of these image processing approaches, a controlled simulated environment is

4. DESENVOLVIMENTO DE OBJETOS SIMULADORES PARA MEDICINA NUCLEAR. / DEVELOPMENT OF PHANTOMS FOR NUCLEAR MEDICINE.
The phantoms used in Brazil are mostly imported and have relatively high financial cost. Although these phantoms can be considered as essentials for use in quality control, probably high quotas and import bureaucracy are obstacles to their acquisition by the nuclear medicine departments. The main objective of this work was the development of national phantom

5. Digital subtraction as tool for detecting tumors in mammographic images of dense breasts: an approach using computational simulation / Subtração digital como ferramenta para detecção de tumores em imagens mamográficas de mamas densas: uma abordagem utilizando simulação computacional
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo propor um modelo envolvendo subtração digital de imagens obtidas a diferentes níveis de energia do feixe de raios X, para possibilitar a detecção de lesões malignas da mama que, no modo tradicional de realização do exame, seriam totalmente camufladas quando superpostas por tecido de absorção semelhante. A pesqui

6. Modelagem computacional de estruturas anatômicas em 3D e simulação de suas imagens radiográficas / Computational 3D modelling of anatomic structures and simulation of its radiography images
The conventional methods of quality control applied to radio diagnosis are the best way to have assured good quality of the produced images. Due the amount of variables to consider, the study of particular issues of the process of formation of radiological images requires complementary computational tools. However, the computational voxel based phantoms are

7. Desenvolvimento de uma interface grÃfica de usuÃrio para modelos computacionais de exposiÃÃo externa / DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE FOR EXTERNAL EXPOSURE COMPUTATIONAL MODELS
To evaluate the absorbed dose by the patient, in a series of exams, it is necessary to accomplish simulations using an exposure computational model. Such models are fundamentally composed of a virtual representation of the human body (phantom) and a Monte Carlo code. There are several Monte Carlo codes available and also specific voxel phantoms for the two g

8. Desenvolvimento de um sistema computacional para utilização em procedimentos de controle de qualidade em equipamentos mamográficos / Development of a computational system for quality control procedures on mammographic equipment
The present work consists on developing a computational methodology to provide information regarding to mammographic equipment quality evaluation. This investigation have taken into account, beyond the required operational parameters, such as kVp, electrical current, focal point, dose, exposition time, half-value layer, the influence of the film digitizer ut

9. AvaliaÃÃes dosimÃtricas em pacientes submetidos à radioiodoterapia com base em fantomas de Voxels e em imagens de medicina nuclear
In radioiodine therapy, the patients are submitted to the incorporation of a radioactive Sodium Iodide substance (NaI), which reacts physiologically with metastases, thyroid tissue remainders and other organs and tissues of the human body. There is a complex question, which is, the evaluation of the temporal and spatial distribution of the absorbed dose in r

10. Development of a computacional model for calculations of absorved dose to organs and tissues of the human body in situations of accidental exposures / Desenvolvimento de um modelo computacional para cÃlculos de dose absorvida em ÃrgÃos e tecidos do corpo humano nas situaÃÃes de exposiÃÃes acidentais
Exposure to a radiation field may be of medical, environmental, occupational or accidental nature, but in all cases the main objective is the determination of the whole body absorbed dose or the distribution of absorbed dose to specific organs and tissues. In recent years, estimates of the radiation absorbed dose in the human body have become more accurate d

11. Doses e risco de radiação em estudo tomográfico computadorizado do tórax com tecnologia de quatro cortes
The computerized tomography (CT) is an important method for studying chest pathologies to provide its morphological and functional analysis and to allow a specific therapeutic approach of signs or symptoms resulting from diseases. Since CT uses ionizing radiation, it should be considered that a precise balance between risks and benefits must be achieved in o

12. Restauração de imagens de microscopia confocal utilizando técnicas POCS.
Computer Optical Sectioning Microscopy (COSM) is widely used in morphological studies of cellular structures. COSM appears as a great challenge to digital image processing, because the large size of the three-dimensional files. The major problem in COSM is the blurring, which practically turn the image unusable without the use of digital image processing tec
