Interventional procedures are often associated with high levels of radiation dose, both for medical staff and patients. According to national and international regulations, a set of actions must be established to protect these individuals against unwanted radiation exposure effects. Within this perspective, this project seeks, initially, to survey dosimetric quantities, such as the kerma-…
In December 2019, a series of cases in China of the so-called COVID2019 were identified, which spread throughout the world, currently reaching more than 2,000,000 cases with 140,000 deaths. Currently, viral nucleic acid analysis based on RT-PCR (real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction) is used as the standard reference method for confirming COVID-19 infection. One of the main consequences is …
The segmentation and quantification of medical images through computational tools bring several benefits to clinical practice. There are various approaches to segmenting medical images today, ranging from the latest and most complex, which use machine learning and artificial intelligence, to classical methods such as threshold segmentation, which require less processing power and computat…
With the end of the pandemic phase of COVID-19, interest and concern for the late manifestations of this disease - the so-called long COVID - are growing. About one-third of COVID-19 hospitalized patients exhibit abnormalities in chest computed tomography (CT) scans twelve months after infection. Thus, CT is an important tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of COVID-19 complications. How…
Stroke is one of the main death causes worldwide. Considering all causes of death in Brazil, stroke was responsible for 10.2% in the year 2009. There are two types of stroke, ischemic, which corresponds to 87% of cases and hemorrhagic, 13% of cases. The early diagnosis avoids irreversible cerebral damage. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (N…
It is estimated that each year one death every 10 seconds (about 2 million deaths) in the world is attributed to tuberculosis. The World Health Organization (WHO), since 1993, considers TB a global emergency. TB can cause pleural effusion, atelectasis, pulmonary condensation and even after effective treatment, TB leaves pulmonary sequelae such as fibrosis and emphysema, compromising the q…
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most important specie of mycobacteria in public health. It is estimated that one death every 10 seconds, is attributed to tuberculosis (TB), totaling annually about 2 million deaths globally. Since 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) considers TB as a global emergency. TB can cause pleural effusion, atelectasis, pulmonary condensation and even a…

One of the most important applications of digital image processing (DIP) relates to medical images. Image interpretation is a qualitative process that brings difficulties for the observer, thus, DIP appears as an ally to help improving and solving diagnostic issues. One of the most difficult tasks for physicians is to distinguish acute stroke lesions in non-enhanced computed tomography (C…
