Left Femoral Stent/Graft

Case Description:

There is a left femoral stent/graft seen on the left hip DXA. The accompanying radiograph also demonstrates the stent/graft. The stent/graft would be removed by the software from the soft tissue baseline. On a Hologic machine, the undo view may be checked to confirm that it is removed from the soft tissue baseline.
