X-rays are primarily effective for imaging dense materials like bones and metal, so they may not clearly visualize a broken plastic IV in a vein. Plastic is less dense than bone and may not appear distinctly on an X-ray. However, if there are associated complications, such as air or fluid accumulation, these might be visible on the X-ray. Additional imaging techniques, like ultrasound or CT scans, may be more effective for assessing soft tissue and plastic materials.
