Abstract Purpose: To evaluate MRI in intraocular foreign bodies as compared with CT as well as conventional X-ray films. Materials and methods: There were 55 intraocular foreign bodies in 42 patients, 33 males and 9 females age ranged from 5~45 years. Fifty-three of the 55 foreign bodies were non-magnetic, and the remaining 2 were ferromagnetic objects. Conventional X-ray films, CT and MRI examinations were accomplished within one month. Results: (1) The positive rate for showing 55 intraocular foreign bodies was similar on MRI (94%) and CT (91%) (P>0. 25), but much higher than conventional X-ray films (42%) (P<0.005); (2) MRI was superior to CT for the demonstration of eye complications related to the foreign bodies, but the contrary was true when they were located within the sclera; (3) T2WI and PDWI of SE sequence were the method of choice for the demonstration of these foreign bodies; (4) non-magnetic foreign bodies usually showed signal loss without artifact on MRI, while ferromagnetic substances produced remarkable artifact and might lead to accidental injury of the eye. Conclusion: MRI was an effective method for the evaluation of non- magnetic foreign bodies of the eye, especially for the non-metallic foreign bodies undetectable with CT or conventional X-ray film. It was not recommended for ferromagnetic foreign bodies.

眼内异物是眼穿孔伤的常见合并症,应尽早取出。其准确定位是手术摘除成败的关键。X线平片、CT和超声是检出眼内异物的重要方法,但均有一定局限性[1]。MRI为眼内异物检出提供了新方法。笔者对42例眼内异物MRI资料进行分析,并与X线平片和CT比较,旨在探讨MRI对眼内异物的诊断价值。
材料与方法
42例眼内异物累及48只眼,其中单眼异物36例,双眼异物6例。男33例,女9例。年龄5~45岁,平均27岁。伤后至MR检查为2天至15个月。手术前1个月内均作患眼X线平片、CT和MR检查,共检出异物55枚,全部手术取出。对可疑铁磁性异物者,MRI前在B超导引下行磁性试验[2],无异物移动时再行 MR检查。采用的统计学方法均为X2检验。
X线平片包括患眼标准正侧位片。用第三代CT进行扫描,均有横轴面图像,少数有冠状面扫描,层厚2-3mm。使用Siemens 1.0T超导MR系统。选用SE序列,分别用头线圈(31例)和眼表面线圈(11例)扫描,层厚2mm,矩阵256×256。均做横轴面、冠状面和矢状面扫描。横轴面以听眦线为基线,冠状面与角膜缘平面平行或与人体正中矢状面垂直,矢状面与角膜缘平面垂直。均有T1WI(TR 400~600毫秒,TE 15毫秒)、PDWI(质子密度加权成像) (TR 1800~2500毫秒,TE 15~20毫秒)和 T2WI(TR 1800—2500毫秒,TE 80~90毫秒)。
结 果
55枚眼内异物种类、数目、大小以及MRI、 CT和X线平片检出情况见表1。MRI和CT对55枚眼内异物检出率分别为94%(52/55)和91%(50/55),统计学上无显著性差异(P> 0.25),但均明显高于X线平片的检出率42% (23/55)(P<0.005)。53枚非磁性异物的眼内分布、MRI和CT显示情况见表2。T1WI 2寸53枚非磁性异物的检出率(25%,13/53)明显低于 T2WI(94%,50/53)和PDWI(91%,48/53) (P<0P005)。T2WI、PDWI和CT(93%,49/53)对53枚非磁性眼内异物检出率相近(P> 0.05)。
MRI检出玻璃体出血10只眼,其中7只眼合并增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变。眼内炎5只眼,均伴有增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变。铜异物致眼内无菌性炎症4只眼。MRI显示19只眼眼内异物有合并症,CT仅显示7只眼有不同程度玻璃体混浊。MRI和CT对眼部合并症的显示率分别为40%(19/48)和15%(7/48),具有显著性差异(P<0.025)。患眼萎缩8只,CT和 MRI均很好显示。
