Objective: To detect the accuracy of MR imaging in detection and localization of wooden splinters... more Objective: To detect the accuracy of MR imaging in detection and localization of wooden splinters invading the extremities using surgical data as a reference standard. Methods: A retrospective review on a series of eighteen patients with: history of wooden foreign body penetration and/or localized swellings to their extremities, surgically confirmed final diagnosis of wooden foreign body penetration and having both screening X-ray and MR imaging of their concerned extremities. MR imaging included variable combination of fast-spin echo imaging in T1W and T2W without fat-suppression as well as fat-suppressed proton density and/or STIR sequences. Gadoliniumenhanced imaging was available in 10 of the MR studies of our patients only. Results: Successful localization using MR was achieved in sixteen patients only, in the current study with sensitivity and specificity of 88.8%. Wooden splinters were recognized as linear signal
