Value of multi‐slice spiral computed tomography for diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration in children: 5‐year retrospective study

Tracheobronchial foreign body (TFB) aspiration is a significant cause of respiratory problems in children. The timely diagnosis of TFB is important to decrease the mortality rate and the incidence of complications. Advances in radiology have led multi‐slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) to become the best technique for diagnosing TFB.
