Gastrointestinal devices: common and uncommon foreign bodies.
Gastrointestinal devices: common and uncommon foreign bodies. Abdominal radiology (New York) Shen, L., Aslan, E., Cao, J. J., Shen, J., Tse, J. R. 2024Abstract
Devices for the gastrointestinal tract are widely available and constantly advancing with less invasive techniques. They play a crucial role in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and are commonly placed by interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons. These devices frequently appear in imaging studies, which verify their proper placement, identify any complications, or may be incidentally detected. Radiologists must be able to identify these devices at imaging and understand their intended purpose to assess their efficacy, detect complications such as incorrect positioning, and avoid misinterpreting them as abnormalities. Furthermore, many patients with these devices may require MRI, making assessing compatibility essential for safe patient care. This review seeks to provide a succinct and practical handbook for radiologists regarding both common and uncommon gastrointestinal devices. In addition to textual descriptions of clinical indications, imaging findings, complications, and MRI compatibility, the review incorporates a summary table as a quick reference point for key information and illustrative images for each device.
