Brief Answer:
CT scan is the investigation that can help locate a microchip in your thigh

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

A CT scan of the area might help to know more about the location of the microchip implanted in the thigh area, Usually such an object might be in the subcutaneous or deep fascial plane. A 7 mm object can be visualised as a foreign body in the tissue. You might be able to know if it has migrated from the original position if you know where it was inserted and if it has moved to the surrounding tissues,

I got a MRI but it came back - NO FORIGEN BODY FOUND . But i believe this is this microchip. Even if the microchip is migrated in my tissues deep in my body. The scanning can still pick it up with no problem ? Nothing shows up with a X-Ray scanning & ive been trying to get this human microchip removed for the past few months now. Please look at imaging I attached. Thanks Doctor

Brief Answer:
The foreign body is not there or is not showing up well

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I can understand your situation. The foreign body in the pictures can be detected on CT scan images better than MRI scans in some cases. If the MRI scan report is normal then it is possible that the foreign body is not there or is not showing up well due to technical reasons.

So even if the 6mm human microchip is buried in my body & has been migrated in my tissues the CT scan can 100% locate this object implanted in my thigh?

CT scan accuracy is good for the foreign body in images

A CT scan has a good accuracy in the range of 95 to 99.99 percent or more to locate any foreign body as the one in the pictures.

if the microchip is buried in my body & has been migrated in my tissues. Can a ultrasound locate the foriegn object ? Can it locate this object implanted in my thigh? Also whats the best type of cr scan i see there are different kinds of CTs

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (20 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
A multisilice non contrast thin section CT scan is good for you

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

The ultrasound scan has few drawbacks in that it cannot examine through bones and large areas of tissues. Ultrasound scan shows limited areas.

Ultrasound scan is based on skill and findings are subjection and might differ and CT scan findings are objective and reliable.

A CT scan is useful to locate foreign bodies. A multislice non contrast CT scan showing thin section images of the area where the microchip was inserted would help.
