Limitations of Computerized Tomography in the Localization of intraocular Foreign Bodies

Computerized tomography (CT) scanning was used to evaluate nine patients with intraocular foreign bodies. We found that significant limitations of this method still exist, even with high resolution scanners, in the localization of extremely small, multiple or relatively radiolucent foreign bodies an...
