Comparison of chest radiograph and surface measurement to predict cavoatrial junction position of totally implantable venous-access port
The chest radiograph method could more effectively predict the CAJ position than the surface measurement in the overall cohort. However, subgroup analysis revealed that this advantage was not statistically significant in patients with BMI > 24.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, suggesting reduced efficacy in high-BMI populations.
