Permanent subcutaneous acupuncture needles: radiographic manifestations
1Department of Radiology, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, New York.
Abstract:
Metallic acupuncture needles are occasionally placed permanently in subcutaneous tissues. We report the radiographic appearances of these needles in two patients, each showing many dorsal subcutaneous needles in parallel longitudinal lines along traditionally delineated meridians between the neck and buttocks.
