Estudo comparativo entre imagens digitais e analógicas do Rattus norvegicus

Abstract

The investigation stems from the realization of the importance that the computer science area exerts a process of integration with the Health Sciences in that it offers mimicry possibilities station bodily functions which provides technology to support scientific research. As these research in the areas of Health Sciences can not always be carried out with humans for ethical reasons and even the use of animals has been restricted, technological innovations make it ever more necessary to advance such research. Thus, this thesis aims to determine whether the image display as vector digital methodology results in more efficiency and wider use compared to the analog image. The methodology used, with the participation of 210 travel volunteer medical students of PUCRS three class members. In each class, students were randomized into two groups of 35 students, the control group was exposed to an analog image sciatic nerve in the rat division, while the test group was exposed to the same nerve imaging, but vectored in Inkscape program, compared to a division of the sciatic nerve photograph captured by a scanning electron microscope. Each group viewed the received image, comparing it with the electron microscope image, identifying this picture the names of the nerves that are part of the division of the sciatic nerve. Later the control group viewed digital images to a post-test and with the test group answered a questionnaire of receptivity of the methodology. We used the comparison and statistical method to perform the analyzes which confirmed the greater efficiency of digital images with respect to the analog images, validating the use of digital images and digital methods.
