May 6, 2022 · Radiology literature has established several signs to indicate band slippage using abdominal radiographs, including the phi angle, the “O” sign, inferior displacement of the superolateral band margin from the diaphragm, and the presence of a dilated gastric pouch with an air-fluid level above the band [9, 13, 14]. Although the ...
