Localization of intraocular foreign bodies by computed tomography.
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.
