Brief Answer:
Thin section CT scan might help
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
A 6 mm foreign body can be located using a thin section CT scan of the area. This can be processed to 3D images for better imaging.
A CT scan is a machine using xrays in high concentration to create 3 D images. There is no separate 3D xray procedure.

Can you look at the photos. Can you have a radiologist compare my MRI to other person imagining. This is exactly what I'm looking for this 5mm forigen body object. They said no forigen body but it looks like a Forigen object in my opinion, what's your team opinion?
Brief Answer:
There is no clear object in the MRI image, all images need to be looked at
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I am a radiologist answering your questions.
The xray of the hand with the foreign body is showing a linear opacity in the shape of the object and sharp margins.
The MRI image does not show the entire object in length and the margins are not too sharp.
I have discussed it with my team of radiologists, and after viewing the xray and MRI image we feel that, though the MRI image does not show the object in question clearly, there is a need to take a look at all the MRI images to give an accurate opinion.
Also to add, a CT scan will be a better test to point out the object if it is within the body or to say with accuracy that there is no such object.

Brief Answer:
There is no obvious foreign body with reference to the image of the chip
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have reviewed the MRI right thigh images.
FINDINGS:
There is no obvious foreign body with reference to the image of the chip object which you have sent.
The area in the circle is a blood vessel.
The underlying bones including the head, neck, shaft and condylar region of the femur and the upper tibia / fibula appear normal bilaterally.
No evidence of bony destruction or marrow signal intensity changes identified.
Underlying soft tissues including the muscles and the intermuscular / subcutaneous fat planes appear normal.
No evidence of abnormal soft tissue swelling / fluid collections identified.
No significant effusion seen involving the hip / knee joint on either side.
