Studies and clinical application of radiographic localization of intraocular foreign body

Abstract

A combination and improvement of Sweet’s method and Baltin’s method for intraocular foreign body localization designed by us is presented and its clinical application described in detail. In addition, we introduce an improvement of bone-free radiography of the eye, in which the bone-free portion radiographed is significantly larger than that obtained by means of Vogt’s method; and as the non-screen film is placed outside of the lateral wall of the orbit instead of being stuck into the orbit, the patient feels no discomfort. A method of measurement and calculation of 2 points in space is recommended to replenish the coordinate chart method to determine correctly whether the foreign body is inside or outside of the eye-ball. All these new methods mentioned in this paper have been proved safe, simple and convenient.
