Abstract
Each form of treatment alters the normal anatomy and structural framework of the region where it is administered. Therefore, the interpretation of images needs to be supported by a sound knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology, drug compliance, radiotherapy and surgery, because the images represent the digital translation of the anatomic reality.
