The tip of the nasogastric tube is located within the stomach projection. Ill-defined opacities in the right mid/lower zone likely due to aspiration or infection.
Case Discussion
The ideal position of a nasogastric tube should be in the sub-diaphragmatic position in the stomach. Ideally it should be at least 10 cm beyond the gastro-esophageal junction 1.
