Summary To eliminate the occurrence of artefacts produced by clips on the CT images, the use of titanium clips is suggested. Testsin vitro andin vivo indicate that clips manufactured from 0.2 mm thick 99.9 per cent titanium do not cause artefacts. They are resistant to corrosion, nontoxic, effective, easy to handle, relatively cheap, and are visible on plain X-ray films.
