[Preoperative use of computed tomography for foreign bodies].
Computed tomography, with the possibility of density determination, makes possible the detection of foreign bodies that are not visible when using conventional techniques. The possibilities of localization are improved by the fact that tomograms are free of shadows and that distances can be measured exactly. These advantages provide important information in those cases in which surgical operation is planned.
