Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) misplacement is a significant complication, with radiography playing a key role in detection. This retrospective study of 124 cases identified extrauterine displacement in 76.6%, with partial perforation being most common (46.8%). Migration patterns included the pelvic cavity (43.5%) and abdominal cavity (24.2%). Plain radiography showed 92.7% sensitivity and 86.3% specificity for detecting perforations. Thus, radiographic patterns aid in guiding further imaging and management of misplaced IUCDs.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
