Could surgical mesh be visible in imaging tests like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans? I'm kind of concerned because I had a procedure with mesh recently, and I'm wondering if it shows up in these tests or if something might be wrong.

Surgical mesh is typically made of synthetic or biologic materials that can be visible on imaging tests, with varying degrees of clarity: X-rays may show mesh as a faint outline, CT scans can provide more detailed images, and MRIs may show mesh as a signal void or low-signal intensity area, but the visibility of mesh on imaging tests depends on the type of mesh, its location, and the imaging modality used.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
