Intraorbital wooden foreign body: CT and MR appearance

V T Ho et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1996 Jan.

Abstract

A case of an intraorbital wooden foreign body mimicking air on standard CT window setting and on MR is presented. Its higher attenuation with higher CT window setting as well as its elongated and well-delineated shape on both CT and MR helped to distinguish it from air.
