CASE SERIES: SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS IN SOFT TISSUE FOREIGN BODIES
Dr. Vivek Kumar Garg and Manjula Sharma*
ABSTRACT
Penetrating injuries are a common problem in emergency, orthopedic and surgery clinics in our rural setup. Retained foreign bodies complicate many of these penetrating injuries. Conventional radiology is sometimes incapable of diagnosing these retained foreign bodies because of their radio-lucent nature. Sonography can be a useful modality in such cases. We present 4 such cases in the form of case series to study the role of sonography in the evaluation of foreign bodies.
Keywords: Penetrating injuries, foreign bodies, Sonography, radio-lucent.
