title: Computed tomographic and ultrasound appearance of Kim-Ray Greenfield vena caval filters and potential for noninvasive localization.
abstract: The appearance of the Kim-Ray Greenfield filter in the inferior vena cava on both computed tomography and sonography is described. The potential use of these modalities in the noninvasive localization of caval filters is discussed.
