    Abstract:

    Currently peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a commonly used venous catheter technology in clinical background. It has been controversial as to where the end of PICC should be placed and how to decide its position under X-ray. This paper reviews the latest studies on PICC, including the optimum location, imaging markers for positioning under X-ray, and the mobility of the end of PICC.
