CT diagnosis of an esophageal foreign body

Journal Article · · AJR, Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)
Although of proven value in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal malignancy, computed tomography (CT) has had limited application in the evaluation of benign esophageal disease. The first case of a CT-detected esophageal foreign body is reported. The foreign body, a piece of bone present for possibly 3 years, had escaped prior detection by plain chest radiography, barium swallow, and esophagoscopy.
