CXR of esophageal pH probe malposition
CXR AP shows an esophageal pH probe. The position of the esophageal pH probe sensor / measurement lead (the radiolucent cylinder with the radiopaque dot in the center of it) is at the gastroesophageal junction.

The diagnosis was esophageal pH probe malfunction with the pH probe sensor being too low in position.
