Objective.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images using OsiriX software in detecting wooden and bamboo foreign bodies.
Methods.
Four sizes of wet and dry wooden and bamboo foreign bodies were selected to be analyzed.
Those in the air and in the head of edible swine were scanned with a multidetector row CT scanner.
The images were evaluated with OsiriX software in the bone and the abdomen window setting as unprocessed images.
Three-dimensional rendered images assigned colors and opacity by a 16-bit color look-up table (CLUT) editor in OsiriX software were evaluated as processed images.
Results.
In the unprocessed images, dry and wet foreign bodies in the air were not detected except a part of wet wooden foreign bodies, and all the dry and wet foreign bodies in the swine’s head mimicked air with linear shapes.
In the processed images, all the dry and wet foreign bodies in the air were detected clearly, and all the wooden and some of the bamboo foreign bodies in the swine’s head were detected clearly.
Conclusions.
CT images processed using OsiriX software, especially with a CLUT editor, were useful in detecting wooden and bamboo foreign bodies.
