“…Magnetic resonance imaging should be avoided in these cases, as it can facilitate the disturbance of metal within soft tissue as in the case described here. It should also be noted that although x-ray imaging is widely available in many emergency departments, multiple studies demonstrate that this imaging modality is less reliable when compared with CT in identifying metallic IOFBs 30,31 .…”

“…Today, it is recognised that glass foreign bodies are generally radiopaque and display good visibility in conventional X-ray imaging as well as in CT scans, with some variability based on size and surrounding tissues [29,31,32,60]. In ultrasound scanning, alongside various artefacts, a hyperechoic signal with a strong interface can be detected [29,34].…”

Open injuries bear the risk of foreign body contamination. Commonly encountered materials include gravel debris, glass fragments, wooden splinters or metal particles. While foreign body incorporation is obvious in some injury patterns, other injuries may not display hints of being contaminated with foreign body materials. Foreign objects that have not been detected and removed bear the risk of leading to severe wound infections and chronic wound healing disorders. Besides these severe health issues, medicolegal consequences should be considered. While an accurate clinical examination is the first step for the detection of foreign body materials, choosing the appropriate radiological imaging is decisive for the detection or non-detection of the foreign material. Especially in cases of impaired wound healing over time, the existence of an undetected foreign object needs to be considered.Here, we would like to give a practical radiological guide for the assessment of foreign objects in head and neck injuries by a special selection of patients with different injury patterns and various foreign body materials with regard to the present literature.
