A chest X-ray can show the presence of a stent if it is made of a material that is radiopaque, such as metal. The stent's outline may be visible on the X-ray, allowing healthcare providers to confirm its placement within the blood vessels, particularly in the case of coronary stents. However, chest X-rays are not the most detailed imaging modality for evaluating stents; other imaging techniques, like CT scans, may provide clearer information about the stent and surrounding tissues.
