Imaging evaluation of hemoptysis in children

Figure 11 Foreign body aspiration. Chest radiograph (A) shows a radio-opaque foreign body in the left main bronchus (arrow) with hyperinflation of the left lung. Axial computed tomography images (B, C) delineate the morphology of the foreign body in the left main bronchus causing luminal compromise. There is associated air trapping in the left lung with patchy consolidation in the apical segment of the lower lobe.
