In the last decades, an important revolution has taken place in the medical technology field, particularly in image diagnosis equipment. The central purpose of the present thesis is to analyze and understand the strategies and productive systems used in the production of such equipment, with specific focus on the production of Magnetic Resonance equipment. It is important to make data and information available especially in countries like Brazil, which, despite still not having a national production, make use of this technology and need to prepare human resources not only for its own use but also for the development and production of specific components. A great motivation to this research was the ToRM Project, developed by the University of São Paulo. This project consisted in the local development of a resonance machine, which would allow for the preparation of specialized professionals and the development of studies about accessories and components. The methodology used in the present study, which is exploratory in character, involves a literature review and case studies performed in two major manufacturers of image diagnosis equipment - Philips Medical Systems and Siemens Medical. Thus, by understanding the productive systems applied, our goal is to provide companies and universities with updated information about this industry, especially considering the lack of academic material on this subject.
