“…If postoperative imaging is warranted, a contrast esophagram is more useful than plain radiographs of the chest for detecting esophageal perforation. 12 Mortality and morbidity are generally low, even for patients requiring intervention. Esophageal obstruction is the most common complication of foreign body ingestion.…”

A healthy 15-month-old Hispanic boy presented with dysphagia. The symptoms began without fever, rhinorrhea, or cough. He was immediately taken to the local urgent care and diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. Four days later he returned for persistent symptoms without hematemesis or fever. A chest radiograph noted a round object at the carina, Fig. 1A. Emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed. The coin was removed using rat tooth forceps. Upon inspection of the esophagus, the area was noted to have a significant mucosal erosion, Fig. 1B. The patient was admitted for observation. A water-soluble contrast esophagram noted a large mucosal irregularity without perforation Fig. 1C. After observation, the patient was discharged home on a liquid and soft diet. Follow-up demonstrated a significantly improved but ongoing mucosal diverticulum and absence of dysphagia.Although complications from esophageal coins are rare, patients with retained esophageal coins are at risk for strictures, perforation, fistula to the great vessels, and respiratory distress (1). This case highlights the importance of prompt removal of retained esophageal foreign bodies (2). Although mucosal injury can be seen on emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the injury may be greater and longer lasting than visualized. Subsequent imaging after removal may be warranted (3).

Fisher et al (2013) have made a study to determine the advantage of repeated chest radiography after removal of oesophageal foreign bodies in paediatric population and conclude that the repeated chest radiography is not advisable for the treatment of children. Mendes et al (2012) discuss about the role of radiology in diagnosis and treatment management of foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.…”

At present, radiography plays a significant role in the field of medical image processing. Medical practitioners and radiologists show keen interest in paediatric health informatics especially in foreign body aspiration (FBA). The radiographic techniques such as X-ray, computer topography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are the commonly used techniques to analyse the interested regions of interest. This paper focusses is in analysing various radiographic techniques used in paediatric FBA with the focus on the significance of radiographic techniques in medical image processing. A framework is proposed to identify and locate the intrude objects in paediatric X-ray images to reduce the misinterpretation in medical diagnosis.
