چکیده
The study represents an evaluation of the ability of spiral and conventional computer tomography in the diagnoseof intraorbitar and intraocular foreign bodies. The study includes 19 patients, aged between 15 and 52 years, 10 men and 9 women, presenting intraocular or intraorbitar foreign bodies or as a result of an traumatic injuries, who addressed the Emergency Hospital N. Oblu Iasi, between September 2010 March 2011. The CT examination was the main imaging method of investigation in addition to conventional radiographs; it was conducted on a Philips Aura single-slice unit and a Siemens SOMATOM AR.C unit in the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging in theHospital “N. Oblu” Iasi. One patient presents an CT image of carbonite IOFB, 5 patients present metallic IOFB, the images are obtained using used incremental CT (Somatom ARC, Siemens). 2 patients present spiral CT image of a metallic penetrating intraocular foreign body, 11 patients present spiral CT image of a metallic penetrating intraocular and maxillofacial foreign body. The classical computer tomography and spiral CT are among the most effective methods of examination and management of intraocular foreign bodies, maxillofacial or intraorbital. The spiral CT realise a continuous scanning of a volume of the patients body during table movement and reduces examination time and radiation exposure.

Background and aims. The imaging techniques commonly used for foreign body detection include plain radiography, xeroradiography, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography. The aim of the present study was to compare cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with conventional CT scan in determination of the exact location of a foreign body in the maxillofaci...

متن کاملCT evaluation of plastic intraocular foreign bodies.
The high sensitivity of CT in detecting metallic orbital foreign bodies has been previously described [1-6] . While there has been some success in detecting glass fragments , detecting intraorbital foreign bodies made of wood has been very unsatisfactory [1, 2, 69]. Plastic orbital implants are easily recognized on CT as high-attenuation-value images [6, 7]. This report presents two cases of pl...
