Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal
tract without a problem. However, both ingested and inserted
foreign bodies may cause bowel obstruction or perforation or lead
to severe hemorrhage, abscess formation, or septicemia. Foreign
body aspiration is common in children, especially those under 3
years of age, and in these cases chest radiography and CT are the
main imaging modalities. This textbook provides a thorough overview
of the critical role of diagnostic imaging in the assessment of
patients with suspected foreign body ingestion, aspiration, or
insertion. A wide range of scenarios are covered, from the common
problem of foreign body ingestion or aspiration in children and
mentally handicapped adults through to drug smuggling by body
packing and gunshot wounds. Guidance is offered on diagnostic
protocols, and the value of different imaging modalities in
different situations is explained. Helpful management tips are also
provided. This textbook will prove invaluable for residents in
radiology, radiologists, and physicians who are involved on a daily
basis, within an emergency department, in the management of
patients with suspected ingestion, aspiration, or insertion of
foreign bodies.
