Comparing the Accuracy of Micro-Focus X-ray Technology to Standard Clinical Ultrasound for Locating Small Glass Foreign Bodies in Soft Tissue

Comparing the Accuracy of Micro-Focus X-ray Technology to Standard Clinical Ultrasound for Locating Small Glass Foreign Bodies in Soft Tissue

Foreign bodies are found in as many as 15% of traumatic wounds. Point of Care ultrasound (POCUS) is now considered reliable for detecting FBs in wounds. Unfortunately, up to 38% of these FBs are initially missed, resulting in infections, delayed wound healing, and loss of function. Microfocus X-ray...
