When facing a challenging gastrointestinal case, the power of collaboration cannot be overstated.

The patient had undergone an initial ultrasound exam the previous day, which revealed an ileal foreign body prompting a STAT multi-modality (ultrasound and radiograph) review by the SVS Imaging team. By leveraging the expertise of both a SVS Imaging radiologist and internist, we were able to provide a detailed and actionable care plan.
