“…Highly regarded authors in the field of Biomedical Engineering, such as Joseph D. Bronzino, Donald R. Peterson and Joseph F. Dyro (Bronzino and Peterson, 2015;Dyro, 2004), as well as the Brazilian Ministry of Health (Brasil, 2013a;, agree when defining a clinical engineer. According to them, a clinical engineer is a biomedical engineer, focused on studying and applying engineering principles, such as electricity, electronics, mechanics, optics, in order to monitor, control, or modify biological systems.…”

“…Clinical engineering, which, in essence, is part of biomedical engineering (Bronzino and Peterson, 2015;Dyro, 2004), in Confea/Crea System perception (Brasil, 2008a;1998c), is a specialized field of electronic engineering which, also, requires knowledge of other fields, as mechanical, electrical and biochemical theories and techniques. It requires attribution in three different fields of actions: electrical (article 8º from resolution 218/73), electronic (article 9º from resolution 218/73) and electromechanical (article 12 from resolution 218/73) biomedical technology (Brasil, 1998c; 2005 -Annex II, sector 1.2.4).…”

“…In the technological field of action, considering that clinical engineers work primarily with biomedical technologies (Bronzino and Peterson, 2015;Dyro, 2004), they need the proper attribution to work with the biomedical equipment and technologies used in the health institution. These technologies are customarily classified as electrical, electronic or electromechanical dental-medical-hospital installations, equipment, devices or components (Brasil, 2005 -Annex II, Order Number 1.2.4.01.00; 1998c).…”

Abstract-Current models to manage and organize technology in hospitals have evolved over the established 40or 60 years ago according to totally different circumstances of now, therefore, have a failure of origin. In the context of new technologies, it is not enough improve the outdated model, but a new model needs to be raised by re-engineering to achieve appropriate levels of clinical effectiveness, efficiency, safety, cost control and quality that users expect of the technology used in hospitals. Many of the current premises on good practices in healthcare technology management HTM provided by specialized institutions on health are impractical, because in the current processes do not have neither the human resources, nor the liability, nor the appropriate procedures for its implementation. The aim of this work is to provide a process map and their components to implement an effective HTM system in hospitals. Our initial results obtained with the support of a computer platform makes evident that the parameters of clinical effectiveness, efficiency, safety, cost control and quality can be improved, as well as, to reflect on the need to rethink the hospital organization for decision-making on technology.

Background: Callibration of CT number and uniformity is very important to the CT QC program particularly when the program aims to ensure that the CT Scanner equipment operates within the manufacturer's specifications. Since the commercial CT QC phantom is not always available or affordable in the department, a simple, easy and cheap modified CT water phantom design could be useful to support further regular departmental CT QC program.Purpose: (1) to design , a simple and an easy to handle of the modified CT water phantom, and (2) to verify its callibration and measurement functions based on to the gold standard of a commercial CT water phantom.Methods: This study is an experimental research laboratories, where a modified design of CT water phantom is then compared to the comercial gold standard CT water phantom. The commercial CT water phantom uses a cylindrical phantom that contains water with various diameter in sizes. In the modified CT phantom design, it filled with water as well, where the three different size in phantom diameters (15 cm, 20 cm and 32 cm recpectively) created for specific measurement purpose that of the CT Number and uniformity CT Number.Results: Calliberating the function of the modified CT phantom design resulted in the three observasional data. For all different phantom diameters (15, 20 and 32 cm) showed some variation about their CT number and homogenity. Most of the callibration and homogenity tests of the CT number in water deemed significant (cal. CT number for the 20 cm and 32 diameter phantoms, 0,001 0,05 and sig. 0,04 0,05 respectively), instead of that the uniformity test of the phantom sized with 20 cm in diameter (0,432 0,05).Conclussion: A modified water CT phantom designed with 20 cm in diameter could be used for measurement of the CT number uniformity. Yet, measurements of the CT number callibration and uniformity needed to be consider againts from a failed measurement due to the phantom problem design with sizes at 20 and 32 cm in diameters.
