Ectopic IUD contraceptive. Coloured X-ray of the lower abdomen of a 28 year old female patient, showing an ectopic (abnormally positioned) intrauterine device (IUD, orange). An IUD is a T-shaped piece of plastic or metal that inhibits pregnancy by preventing the fertilised egg from embedding in the uterine wall. The IUD here should be inside the uterus (lower centre).
