Highlights ■ The learning curves for robotic peripheral arterial interventions were short, with optimal procedure and fluoroscopy times and radiation emission achieved after the 3rd procedure. ■ There were no differences in learning curves in relation to previous experience or main focus of work. ABSTRACT Objective: This study tests a suitable model for training robot-assisted peripheral vascular interventions and examines the learning curves of endovascular surgeons with different levels of previous experience and main focus of work, analyzing procedure time, […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To present the result of upgrading a clinical gamma-camera to be used to obtain in vivo tomographic images of small animal organs, and its application to register cardiac, renal and neurological images. Methods: An updated version of the miniSPECT upgrading device was built, which is composed of mechanical, electronic and software subsystems. The device was attached to a Discovery VH (General Electric Healthcare) gamma-camera, which was retired from the clinical service and installed at the Centro de Imagem […]
