Key result
Chest radiographs are the initial and most common imaging modality for evaluating the location, integrity, and potential complications of implanted cardiac devices.
Why the study?
Interpreting radiologists need to identify innovative cardiac devices on chest radiographs and assess accurate placement and related complications.
Chest radiographs are essential for evaluating the accurate placement and potential complications of various cardiac devices, requiring radiologists to be familiar with their radiographic appearances.
Supports chest radiograph use for device evaluation; leaves open prospective comparisons with advanced imaging.
Several new innovative cardiac devices have been created over the last few decades. Chest radiographs (CXRs) are the most common imaging investigations undertaken because of their value in evaluating the cardiorespiratory system. It is important for the interpreting radiologist to not only identify these iatrogenic objects but also to assess for their accurate placement, as well as for any complications related to their placement, which may be seen either on the immediate post-procedural CXR or on a follow-up CXR.
