| Popis: | Chest radiographs provide the best means of visualizing radiographic markings imprinted on power ports. Computed tomography scouts can also confirm many of these features, but consideration must be given to kilovoltage peak, milliamp, scout length, and patient positioning. Failure to properly identify power ports can lead to device failure, harm to the patient, or unnecessary venipunctures. |
