The radiological appearance


A. Wolpowitz

Abstract

Observations over a period of years have led me to the conclusion that chicken bones have a typical radiological appearance in that they are hollow bones with wide medullary cavities and thin cortices.  The bones of the toes look exactly like human phalanges and in cases with ingestion or inhalation of these one can be even more specific. In the latter the problem of confusion-with dermoids sometimes arises.
