The role of radiology in the management of patients with a history of ingested foreign bodies is reviewed in a retrospective study over a 2-year period in a Children's Hospital. If radiography was confined to those children who have a clinical history suggestive of foreign body impaction in the oesophagus, a foreign body aspiration or having swallowed a button battery, the work load and unnecessary radiation arising from this practice could be halved. This study demonstrates another misuse of radiological services.
在一家儿童医院进行的一项为期两年的回顾性研究中,对放射学在有摄入异物病史患者管理中的作用进行了评估。如果将X线摄影检查仅限于那些有提示食管异物嵌顿、异物吸入或吞食纽扣电池临床病史的儿童,那么这种做法所产生的工作量和不必要的辐射可减半。这项研究表明了放射学服务的另一种滥用情况。
