One of the great challenges for professionals in Medical Physics (MP) is to manage the fundamentals of radiation protection, aiming at the protection itself, the patient's, the general public and the environment. Thus, the use of techniques that adopt radiological protection is extremely relevant for application and training in the area. In this sense, this paper aims to propose the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a teaching tool in MP and Nuclear Medicine (NM) training, using as an example the PET/CT equipment modeling and an X rays room. The methodology involved the analysis of the equipment and the environment cited in real size for the modeling in virtual elements, and later creation of devices in the form of QR-codes, where it is possible to visualize the modeling animations. It is understood that the use of the AR technology can aid in equipment and procedures training, with emphasis on those that potentially pose a risk of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation in NM services. In addition, it can assist in the teaching of terms and concepts, by making learning more dynamic and interactive through the visualization of equipment, meeting the fundamentals advocated by radiation protection, by avoiding, for example, visiting an hospital environment.
