Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of multislice CT in the diagnosis of airway foreign bodies . Methods Fifty-six patients with suspected airway foreign body were given multislice CT examination , and their ex-amined results were contrastod with the results obtained by bronchoscopy .Results Multislice CT examination detec-ted airway foreign body in 52 patients, 1 case was misdiagnosed as pneumonia , and the foreign body was removed by bronchoscope examination;Between multislice CT and bronchoscope there was no statistically difference in foreign body detection rate (χ2 =0.61 , P>0.05 ); With bronchoscope examination results as the gold standard , spiral CT sensitivity was 96.23%, the diagnostic coincidence rate was 96.64%.Conclusion Multislice CT examination for airway foreign bodies have the characteristics of high sensitivity , high coincidence rate , but also should be combined with the history, clinical signs, in order to reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis , missed diagnosis.For children, multislice CT examination should be penformed at the lowest dose scanning , in order to avoid radiation damage .
