Figure 6From: Retained palmar foreign body presenting as a late hand infection: proposed diagnostic algorithm to detect radiolucent objectsHigh frequency linear ultrasound image. Ultrasound detection of a 2.7 mm wooden splinter in the first webspace distance measurement in between the 2 tracking cross marks. This demonstrates the resolution of current ultrasound probes which would have allowed for easy detection of the nearly 3 cm or 1 inch long splinter shown in Figure3.Back to article page
