This unique book contains approximately 1,600 high quality radiological illustrations and photographs of medical foreign bodies in radiography and CT.
Iatrogenically introduced foreign materials are a broad field. Physicians are increasingly confronted with medically introduced foreign bodies in radiological diagnostics. These must be identified and physicians must know and recognize the correct position or, if necessary, incorrect position as well as further complications.
This volume gives you, for the first time, a guide to the reporting and evaluation of iatrogenic foreign materials such as:
- · Cardiac pacemakers and other pacemaker systems
- · Heart Valves
- · Vascular accesses and stents
- · Foreign material in the gastrointestinal tract, in gynaecology and urology
- · Probes, tubes, catheters and drains
- · Ventricular Drains
- · Accidental and traumatic foreign bodies and much more
