Gregory W. Gladish1, Joel S. Dunnington and Marvin H. Chasen

1 All authors: Department of Diagnostic Radiology, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd., Box 57, Houston, TX 77030.

OBJECTIVE. Our purpose is to describe the appearance of an argon beam coagulator electrode tip that may become fractured and detached during surgery.

CONCLUSION. Knowledge of the potential for fracture and detachment and recognition of the characteristic radiographic appearance of the argon beam coagulator electrode tip allows radiographic identification of this metallic foreign body.
