Take the left vitreous body as the nomal comparison. All cases underwent MRI, CT and ultrasound examination within 2 hours. Results: T1WI, T2WI, and SWI separately detected 4, 15, and 26 fishbones foreign body. The detected fishbones were dot or linear hypointense in T1WI, T2WI and SWI images, high density in CT, and strong echo of the light spots in sonogram.
