- High Resolution Ultrasonography (HRUSG) can effectively diagnose and localize retained wooden foreign bodies, which are often not visible in traditional imaging.
- The study involved 46 patients with foreign body injuries, where HRUSG was used after initial radiography, leading to a significant detection rate of foreign bodies and related inflammatory responses.
