Instituto de Radiologia - HC/InRad

O Instituto de Radiologia (inRad) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (FMUSP-HC), criado através do decreto nº 39.469, de 04 de novembro de 1994, é voltado à área de imagens diagnósticas e terapias por radiação. Atua nas áreas de pesquisa científica, ensino e atendimento aos pacientes do HC-FMUSP que necessitam de exames de imagem para o diagnóstico e o tratamento de doenças, com o uso, por exemplo, da radioterapia, dispondo de modernos recursos para tal.

O InRad foi a primeira instituição da América Latina a utilizar técnicas de Medicina Nuclear e a primeira da América do Sul a dispor de equipamento de braquiterapia de alta taxa de dose; além de ser o primeiro hospital público do país a ter uma Unidade de Produção e Desenvolvimento de Radiofármacos emissores de pósitrons em Medicina Nuclear (Projeto Ciclotron) para utilização em exames de diagnóstico de pequenos tumores e em projetos de pesquisa na área de imagem molecular.

  1. T1/T2-weighted ratio: A feasible MRI biomarker in multiple sclerosis

    MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS JOURNAL, v.30, n.3, p.283-291, 2024

    T1/T2-weighted ratio is a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarker based on conventional sequences, related to microstructural integrity and with increasing use in multiple sclerosis (MS) research. Different from other advanced MRI techniques, this method has the advantage of being based ...

  2. Results of consolidative radiotherapy for relapsed diffuse B-cell lymphoma

    REPORTS OF PRACTICAL ONCOLOGY AND RADIOTHERAPY, v.28, n.5, p.601-607, 2023

    Background: Recurrent diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a disease with high mortality. The standard of care involves autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), which is not always feasible. We investigated the impact of radiotherapy as part of the salvage treatment for patients with rela...

  4. Can we predict who will benefit from the deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) technique for breast cancer irradiation?

    REPORTS OF PRACTICAL ONCOLOGY AND RADIOTHERAPY, v.28, n.5, p.582-591, 2023

    Background: The objective was to explore the clinical use of an ""in-house"" prototype developed to monitor respiratory motion to implement the deep inspiration breath hold technique (DIBH), compare dosimetric differences, and assess whether simple anatomic metrics measured on free breathing (FB)...

  5. Data-driven, cross-disciplinary collaboration: lessons learned at the largest academic health center in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic

    FRONTIERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, v.12, article ID 1369129, 15p, 2024

    Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted global research efforts to reduce infection impact, highlighting the potential of cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance research quality and efficiency.Methods At the FMUSP-HC academic health system, we implemented innovative flow management r...

  6. Static and dynamic high-resolution ultrasound analysis of tissue distribution of poly-L-lactic acid particles during subdermal application in two different presentations

    SKIN HEALTH AND DISEASE, v.3, n.1, article ID e155, p, 2023

    Background: All the changes the skin goes through, peaking at flaccidity, occur in the dermis and hypodermis, leading to loss of support and a lower capacity to totally accommodate displacements or any loss of subjacent volume, bringing about the onset of furrows and sagging. Improvements in faci...

  7. Thermal measurements of a muscle-mimicking phantom during ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging

    CURRENT DIRECTIONS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, v.9, n.1, p.319-322, 2023

    At ultra-high field MRI (Bo>7T) it is crucial to predict and control the patient safety. Commonly patient safety is controlled by the power deposited in the tissue (specific absorption rate - SAR). However, temperature distributions do not always correlate directly with SAR distributions, which m...

  8. Glioneuronal and Neuronal Tumors: Who? When? Where? An Update Based on the 2021 World Health Organization Classification
