    Summary

    Radiological examination of fish bones in the neck can effectively detect most ingested bones. Plain neck X-rays are a valuable screening tool for impacted fish bones, aiding sporting physicians.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Fish bone impaction in the neck is a common clinical scenario.
    • Accurate detection is crucial for timely intervention and patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a guide for radiological detection of fish bones.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of plain neck films in screening for impacted fish bones.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiological examination of fish bones superimposed on the neck.
    • Analysis of detectability of various fish bone types.

    Main Results:

    • Most fish bones superimposed on the neck are radiologically detectable.
    • Plain neck films demonstrate significant utility in screening.

    Conclusions:

    • Plain neck radiography is a reliable method for screening fish bone impaction.
    • Supports the routine use of plain neck films in clinical practice for suspected fish bone ingestion.
