Commonly encountered foreign bodies and devices in the female pelvis: MDCT appearances

Elizabeth V Mausner et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2011 Apr.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to illustrate the MDCT appearances of several commonly encountered foreign bodies and devices in the female pelvis.

Conclusion: The presence of a foreign body or device in the female pelvis can be a potential source of confusion to radiologists, particularly to the inexperienced reader. Familiarity with the normal appearances and locations of these devices on MDCT allows their accurate identification and detection of associated complications.
