In procedural ultrasound, foreign body localization is a critical technique for precisely identifying and mapping the position of foreign objects within soft tissues. This non-invasive method greatly enhances the success rate of foreign body removal, reducing patient morbidity and the need for more invasive diagnostic procedures.
Utilizing real-time imaging, ultrasound allows clinicians to accurately assess the size, shape, and depth of the foreign body, whether it’s glass, wood, or metal. This procedural guidance minimizes tissue damage during extraction and improves patient outcomes in emergency and outpatient settings.
