Desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta para manipulação de Imagens Médicas de Angiotomografia 3D através de Realidade Virtual. Orientador: Heliana Bezerra Soares. 2022. 72 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Engenharia Biomédica) - Centro de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/50576Congenital heart defects are alterations that appear in the anatomical components of the heart or in its blood vessels, during the development of the fetus in the uterus. In Brazil, this pathological condition has a high mortality rate, and this scenario becomes more complicated in poor regions of the country, where there is a significant rate of inaccurate diagnoses and absence of adequate treatment. Difficulties in the diagnosis can occur due to the fact that the human heart has a complex three-dimensional structure, and also due to the great variability of these cardiac irregularities, making the analysis of exams using two-dimensional images challenging. Thus, the developed tool used virtual reality technology to help medical students, specialist doctors and surgeons to visualize and understand the cardiac anatomy of patients diagnosed with congenital heart diseases. This application enabled the observation of three-dimensional models of the hearts of babies and children, in an immersive environment, allowing a complete evaluation of the organ. The cardiac structures defined for this study could be visualized externally and internally from different angles, providing a better analysis of the specific anatomy of patients and demonstrating that the virtual reality method can be used as an educational and assistance tool.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Doenças cardíacas congênitasRealidade VirtualImagens 3DCardiologia pediátricaCongenital heart diseaseVirtual reality3D imagesPediatric cardiologybachelorThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS
