ABSTRACT
The application of combined risk analysis methods for ionizing radiation medicine, allows identifying as proactive manner weakness in the steps of process, which has influence in the improvement plan design. Many of these analyses have been executed on the base of risk matrix (RM). This approach uses defense measures, without taking into account the causes. In the other hand, the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), determining failure causes, which contributes to a more deeply focus for analysis. For this, the task of conversion from RM to FMEA results of particular interest. This is presented the use of a methodology which facilitates this transformation with the code SECURE-MR-FMEA 3.0, obtaining a consistency for both methods. In the same way, it was adapted the FMEA profile to nuclear medicine for patients, workers and public. With illustrative objectives, in the document is showed the transformation to FMEA profile for diagnostic from its RM model. Inside transformation it was considered the experts work, whose should convert to standard basic causes taking into account the original suggestions of computerized conversion. The conversion results are validated through a conservative method in the system. The research of causes for studied incidents is privileging with proposed methodology, as well as with the facility for identification of defense measures which avoiding their recurrence.REFERENCES
