First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a chest CT scan can accurately diagnose when a child has inhaled a foreign object (like a toy piece or food). Researchers compared CT scan results with the standard method, endoscopy (a camera tube), in 311 children aged 6 months to 16 years. The goal was to see if CT scans could reduce the need for invasive procedures.
