Fish bones are one of the most common foreign bodies in the upper aero-digestive tract. The use of plain X-ray in identifying fish bones has questionable value. We believe that the knowledge of the type of the fish ingested improves the diagnostic value of the neck X-rays. This study was designed to evaluate the relative radio-densities of the bones of commonly eaten fish in the UK. Twenty-three species of fish were studied and their bones were grouped into three depending upon their ratio-densities. This information is expected to be useful in identifying fish bones while reading plain radiography.
鱼骨是上呼吸道消化道最常见的异物之一。普通X光在识别鱼骨方面的价值存疑。我们认为，了解摄入鱼类的种类可提高颈部X光的诊断价值。本研究旨在评估英国常见食用鱼类骨骼的相对放射密度。研究了23种鱼类，并根据它们的密度比将其骨骼分为三类。预计该信息在解读普通X光片时有助于识别鱼骨。
