Summary:Imaging plays a major role in the care of the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. An understanding of the monitoring devices is essential for the interpretation of imaging studies. An awareness of their expected locations aids in identifying complications in a timely manner. This review describes the imaging of ICU monitoring and support catheters, tubes, and pulmonary and cardiac devices, some more commonly encountered and others that have been introduced into clinical patient care more recently. Special focus will be placed on chest radiography and potential pitfalls encountered.
