A Pictorial Review of Radiologic Findings of Foreign Bodies in the Thorax

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Thoracic foreign bodies (FBs) are serious and relatively frequent in emergency departments.
Thoracic FBs may occur in association with aspiration, ingestion, trauma, or iatrogenic causes.
Imaging plays an important role in the identification of FBs and their dimensions, structures, and locations, before the initiation of interventional treatment. To guide proper clinical management, radiologists should be aware of the radiologic presentations and the consequences of thoracic FBs. In this pictorial essay, we reviewed the optimal imaging settings to identify FBs in the thorax, classified thoracic FBs into four types according to their etiology, and reviewed the characteristic imaging features and the possible complications.
