The value of the association of radiological methods with echographic examination in the study of intraocular foreign bodies.
The standard X-ray preserves its value in verifying the presence of a foreign body (FB). The echography is valuable in verifying the site of a FB when it remains uncertain in respect to the sclera after X-ray localization. Computerized tomography scanning offers useful information about the physical nature of the FB.
