The role and value of low-dose computed tomography scan compared to esophagoscopy in the diagnosis of foreign body ingestion in adults.

Background: Information regarding computed tomography (CT) scan as a first-line screening tool for diagnosis of foreign body (FB) ingestion is limited to a few studies. This study aimed to discuss the role of low-dose CT scan in diagnosing FB ingestion and its complications in adults, along with its diagnostic values compared to X-ray and esophagoscopy.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, all hospital records of adult patients diagnosed with foreign body ingestion from March 2014 to February 2019 were reviewed.
