Introduccion: estudio en curso que busca crear un simulador angiografico para la desaparicion de riesgos en tecnologos de radiologia e imagenes diagnosticas. La angiografia es un examen imaginologico que permite visualizar las arterias del corazon y evaluar con fines de tratamiento enfermedades del arbol vascular. Metodo: investigacion que pertenece al campo del desarrollo tecnologico, actualmente en etapa experimental con dos momentos: uno exploratorio donde se manipulan materiales para la construccion del simulador, y otro experimental encaminado a poner a prueba las caracteristicas del objeto terminado. Resultados: hasta el momento se cuenta con resultados parciales de las pruebas realizadas con los siguientes materiales: carboximetilcelulosa (CMC), gel balistico y alcohol polivinilico. Abstract Qualit y of life and self care in perimenopausic women that work in a university in pereria, year 2008 Introduction: it is an ongoing study on the creation of a simulator for angiographic examination and practice, knowledge and skills of students in a safe area on the angiogram: imaging is a test to visualize the heart arteries and contributes to evaluate and treat diseases of the vascular tree. Method: the research belongs to the field of technological development, currently in development, was proposed in an exploratory two moments where materials are manipulated to build the simulator, another pilot aimed to test the characteristics of the finished object. Result: so far, with partial results of tests carried out with materials: CMC, ballistic gel, polyvinyl alcohol. Keywords: simulation. angiography. carboxymethyl cellulose. human body arteries.
