Lung CT is able to detect tracheal foreign bodies in young children. Improvement of chest CT + 3D reconstruction helps to increase the detection rate.
Bronchial foreign body is one of the common acute and serious illnesses in children, which starts sharply, is serious and may even be life-threatening. Early diagnosis and removal of foreign body is the key to minimize complications and reduce the morbidity and mortality rate.
Diagnostic methods for tracheal foreign bodies in young children include chest fluoroscopy, chest X-ray, CT examination and bronchoscopy. Clinically, if the results of CT examination see foreign body shadow in the trachea, high-density shadow, emphysema, lung atelectasis, etc. are considered to be the positive results of tracheal foreign body, combined with the three-dimensional reconstruction examination can improve the detection rate, so the lung ct can detect tracheal foreign body in young children.
If young children have tracheal foreign bodies, they should seek medical treatment in time and under the guidance of professional physicians, and should not be treated blindly on their own, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
