“…In fact, a systematic review by Daniel et al found the sensitivity of lateral neck X-rays to range from 0 to 100%. On the other hand, the same review noted higher sensitivity and specificity in cases where the patients were severely unwell [21].…”

“…Sensitivity ranges from 69-100%, with a more variable specificity ranging from 45-100% (17)(18)(19)(20). Previously, lateral neck x-ray was utilized in diagnosing an RPA, but currently, there is no consensus on its utility and a paucity of recent literature to support its use (21).…”
