61 year old male patient with history of eye surgery. Evaluate for metallic foreign object prior to MRI. There is soft tissue swelling of the lateral aspect of the left scalp with foci of gas density which may reflect recent intervention or an abscess. There is a spherical density in the right orbit likely representing a prosthetic globe. The density of this prosthesis appears less than that of metal and we suspect it is MRI compatible. However, close attention should be paid to the patient's symptoms during the MRI examination.
We see no metallic foreign density and suspect the patient's right prosthetic globe is MRI compatible; however, close attention should be paid to the patient's symptoms during the MRI examination. Findings communicated to T Shah at 1725 hrs on 12/14/2015.
