title: [Detection of narcotic-containing packages in "body-packers" using imaging procedures. Studies in vitro and in vivo].
abstract: The increase in narcotic smuggling through swallowing small packages ("body packing") has created problems in detection and in avoiding acute intoxication. Five such cases are reported. Experiments have been carried out in vitro in order to investigate how such narcotic packages could best be shown by radiological examination, by CT or by MRT.
