Otimização de protocolos de abdômen-pelve em tomografia computadorizada multislice utilizando associações de avaliações subjetivas e objetivas

Maués, Nadine Helena Pelegrino Bastos. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Diana Rodrigues de Pina / Resumo: A tomografia computadorizada (TC) é amplamente utilizada no diagnóstico e estadiamento de patologias da região de abdômen-pelve devido a sua alta sensibilidade e especificidade. A possibilidade de adquirir maior número de imagens em menor tempo e a maior disponibilidade de equipamentos levaram a um aumento significativo dos exames de TC e consequente aumento das doses efetivas globais fornecidas por esta modalidade. Desta forma, foram desenvolvidas ferramentas que buscam reduzir as doses de radiação dos exames sem perda da qualidade da imagem. Uma destas ferramentas é a modulação automática da corrente do tubo (automatic tube current modulation – ATCM), que permite a obtenção de exames que concordam com o princípio ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade da imagem e as doses de radiação de diferentes protocolos de TC de abdômen-pelve com a ferramenta ATCM. Foram avaliados cinco protocolos de TC de abdômen-pelve com a ferramenta ATCM em dois tomógrafos distintos, um 16-canais e um 64 canais. Foi utilizado um fantoma antropomórfico para avaliações dosimétricas e um fantoma analítico para avaliações objetivas de qualidade da imagem. Para a análise subjetiva da qualidade da imagem, foram utilizados 15 exames retrospectivos de pacientes submetidos a TC de abdômen-pelve. Estes exames foram avaliados por um radiologista com experiência na área de tomografia de abdômen. As três análises forneceram informações que possibilitaram a escol...

Pilot Tube Microtunneling: Profile of an Emerging Industry

January 2011 (has links)
abstract: Trenchless technologies have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional open trench methods for installing underground pipelines and conduits. Pilot Tube Microtunneling, also referred to as the pilot tube system of microtunneling, guided auger boring, or guided boring method, is a recent addition to the family of trenchless installation methods. Pilot tube microtunneling originated in Japan and Europe, and was introduced to the United States in the year 1995 (Boschert 2007). Since then this methodology has seen increased utilization across North America particularity in municipal markets for the installation of gravity sewers. The primary reason contributing to the growth of pilot tube microtunneling is the technology's capability of installing pipes at high precision in terms of line and grade, in a wide range of ground conditions using relatively inexpensive equipment. The means and methods, applicability, capabilities and limitations of pilot tube microtunneling are well documented in published literature through many project specific case studies. However, there is little information on the macroscopic level regarding the technology and industry as a whole. With the increasing popularity of pilot tube microtunneling, there is an emerging need to address the above issues. This research effort surveyed 22 pilot tube microtunneling contractors across North America to determine the current industry state of practice with the technology. The survey examined various topics including contractor profile and experience; equipment, methods, and pipe materials utilized; and issues pertaining to project planning and construction risks associated with the pilot tube method. The findings of this research are based on a total of 450 projects completed with pilot tube microtunneling between 2006 and 2010. The respondents were diverse in terms of their experience with PTMT, ranging from two to 11 years. A majority of the respondents have traditionally provided services with other trenchless technologies. As revealed by the survey responses, PTMT projects grew by 110% between the years 2006 and 2010. It was found that almost 72% of the 450 PTMT projects completed between 2006 and 2010 by the respondents were for sanitary sewers. Installation in cobbles and boulders was rated as the highest risk by the contractors. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S. Construction 2011

Estudo comparativo de queima de carvão e biomassa em forno DTF

Rohloff, Claudia Cristina January 2017 (has links)
O carvão responde pela maior parte da produção da eletricidade em vários países, e é o combustível mais queimado em caldeiras de usinas termelétricas no mundo, sendo assim uma das principais fontes de gases de efeito estufa. A biomassa de madeira é um combustível renovável, e o dióxido de carbono tem um ciclo curto nos processos de oxidação das biomassas. Este estudo teve como principais objetivos comparar a combustão de dois carvões minerais (um brasileiro e outro colombiano) e um carvão vegetal em um forno tubular de queda livre, comumente chamado de forno DTF (Drop Tube Furnace). Um DTF consiste em um reator cilíndrico vertical, com aquecimento homogêneo, onde a combustão de partículas de um combustível sólido ocorre em condições semelhantes às que ocorrem em caldeiras de leito pulverizado. Recentemente foi construído no Laboratório de Combustão do Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica da UFRGS um forno DTF com 1,340 m de altura útil e que opera até 1200°C. A combustão foi avaliada a 1100°C em termos de burnout, análise de temperatura e espécies químicas ao longo do comprimento do reator. Dos resultados obtidos, o carvão colombiano mostrou-se mais reativo por ter sido consumido mais rapidamente, alcançando burnouts mais elevados do que o carvão brasileiro e o carvão vegetal. O carvão vegetal e o carvão brasileiro obtiveram burnouts semelhantes ao longo do comprimento do forno. O carvão vegetal liberou mais CO que os carvões minerais no início da combustão. A emissão de NO foi mais alta na combustão do carvão colombiano e do carvão vegetal porque estes concentram mais nitrogênio em sua estrutura. As emissões de SO2 também foram proporcionais ao teor de enxofre nos carvões, de maneira que o carvão brasileiro apresentou as maiores concentrações, seguido pelo carvão colombiano e por último, o carvão vegetal. O ar comprimido afeta de forma regular a temperatura no forno, sendo maior a diferença de temperatura entre o perfil com ar comprimido e o perfil sem ar comprimido próximo ao ponto de injeção, o queimador. O perfil sem ar comprimido demostra que o aquecimento do DTF não é homogêneo. A combustão do carvão aumenta significativamente a temperatura no forno, chegando próximo ao perfil de temperatura sem a injeção de ar comprimido. Este trabalho incluiu ainda um estudo prévio do dosador de partículas, considerando diferentes tipos de carvão e carvão vegetal. / Coal is the main fuel in thermoelectric generation in many countries in the world, in spite of its well known being one of the main sources of greenhouse gases. On the other hand, wood biomass is a renewable energy source, associated to a short life cycle of the carbon dioxide produced in its oxidation processes. This study aimed at comparing the reactivity, in combustion atmosphere, of two coals, a Colombian one and a Brazilian one, as well as of a charcoal, by means of a drop tube furnace (DTF). A DTF consists in a vertical cylindrical reactor, capable of mantaining a homogeneously heated section along which combustion of solid fuel particles take place in similar heating rate and temperature conditions as those that are found in the operation of industrial-scale pulverized coal boilers. A DTF was built in the Combustion Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The reactor measures 1340 mm in testing height and can be heated to provide inner temperatures up to 1200ºC. Combustion of samples of the selected fuels was evaluated in terms of the evolution of burnout, gas temperature and composition of the gas and of the char collected in a set of positions along the DTF axys. As main results, it was observed that the reactivity of the Colombian coal is higher than that of the other fuels all along the DTF height. Similar results for burnout were found for the Brazilian coal and the charcoal. Emissions were also investigated. It was observed that combustion of the charcoal releases more CO in the initial portion of the particles displacement inside the reactor. Emission of NO was found to be higher in the combustion of the Colombian coal as well as in the combustion of the charcoal, accomopanying the higher nitrogen content in the composition of the two fuels. Emissions of SO2 were also proportional to sulphur content in the fuels, so that the higher amounts of this species were found in the combustion of the Brazilian coal, followed by the Colombian coal and the charcoal. Temperature measurements were made with a probe specifically designed for that purpose. It was verified that the DTF provides a satisfactory testing length as long as combustion takes place. Discussion of the results includes the calibration of the dosing apparatus.
