title: Localization of intraocular foreign bodies by computed tomography.
abstract: An experimental model is presented and the smallest sized metal intraocular foreign body that could be accurately detected by computed tomography was found to be 1 mm in diameter. A 1/2-mm intraocular foreign body was not detected by the computed tomography scan. Computed tomography is an effective method for the precise localization of intraocular foreign bodies.
