But the final phase is important, that is, the outcome of the examination, attention must be paid to the image treatment, in order to later document it, which is the generation of the film. Each Computed Tomography exam is oriented according to clinical indications and the order of the requesting physician.

Among the various forms of recording the CT scan, laser printing of the image on film, printing on paper (A3) or digital recordings (CD, DVD, etc.) stands out. But what prevails are the movies. The general objective of this work is to carry out a literature review on the importance of the treatment and documentation of computed tomography images, emphasizing its implementation, not as an obligation, but as an aid to professionals in radiological techniques in the completion of computed tomography exams. , which will later also help medical professionals in their decision-making.
