Objective To explore the application value of low-dose multi-slice spiral CT scanning in the diagnosis and treatment of non-metallic foreign bodies in the soft tissues of the limbs. Methods 90 patients with non-metallic foreign bodies in the soft tissues of the limbs were selected for diagnosis using B-ultrasound, multi-slice spiral CT soft tissue scanning conditions, and low-dose multi-slice spiral CT scanning. The foreign body detection rate, localization accuracy, surgical success rate, and surgical time of the three methods were compared. Results The foreign body detection rate, localization accuracy, and surgical success rate of low-dose multi-slice spiral CT scanning were higher than those of B-ultrasound and multi-slice spiral CT soft tissue scanning conditions, with statistical significance (P<0.05), while the surgical time was significantly shorter than the other two methods, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Multi slice spiral CT low-dose scanning is an efficient, safe, and accurate method for the diagnosis and treatment of non-metallic foreign bodies in the soft tissues of the limbs, which can provide strong guidance for clinical practice.
