“…Chest and abdominal radiographies can help in the identification of radiopaque devices [ 3 ] and usually assist the radiologist in selecting further, more invasive, diagnostic investigations. If the radiography fails to identify a radiopaque device, the possibility of a spontaneous expulsion should also be investigated [ 4 , 5 ]. Ultrasound examination is an option to consider before moving to diagnostic modalities that increase ionizing radiation exposure, especially in pediatric and pregnant patients, or in the case of superficial/subcutaneous position of the devices.…”

Radiological Reporting of Urgencies Related to Medical Devices: Commentary on a Possible Systematic Approach

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Most medical devices are routinely recognized on radiological images and described as normal findings in the radiological report, but sometimes they can cause patient access to the emergency department. Multiple possible complications have been described and most of them require prompt recognition by radiologists for proper clinical management. This commentary proposes a systematic approach to radiological reporting of the most common emergent complications related to medical devices with the intent to avoid the omission of important findings in the final radiological report.
