This system comprises a method and software application that, when used in conjunction with digital radiographic imaging software, automatically locates and identifies surgically-implanted devices located inside of a patient and instantly notifies the healthcare provider viewing the digital radiographic image of clinically pertinent information regarding the device, such as, but not limited to the manufacturer, model, and manufacturer notifications, alerts, and/or recalls. In the case of pacemakers and defibrillators, this system also identifies defects in pacemaker and/or defibrillator leads.
