MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
While technically possessing a piece of medical equipment is not a condition within itself (but might instead point to a different medical condition the patient may have), imaging that demonstrates the presence of various types of medical equipment have been organized here below (as the radiological approach is similar):
- Chest Port
- Gastronomy Tubes (G-Tubes)
- Jejunostomy Tubes (J-tube)
- Gastro-Jejunal Tubes (G-J Tubes)
- Transgastric J-Tubes
