Application of the Artificial Neural Network in the Diagnosis of Infantile Bronchial Bridge with 64-Slice Multislice Spiral CT

The objective is to study the application of spiral CT in the diagnosis of the trachea in children. In this study, the effect of 64-slice multislice spiral CT in diagnosing infant bronchial bridge was studied based on an artificial neural network. From June 2020 to December 2020, 100 cases of children with the trachea in the outpatient department of our hospital were selected as the research object. They were divided into the study group and the control group, with 50 cases in each group. The results showed that among the 50 cases in the control group, 42 cases were found to have a bronchial foreign body and 8 cases were missed; the detection rate was 84%. There were 7 cases of trachea foreign body, 15 cases of left bronchial foreign body, 14 cases of right bronchial foreign body, and 6 cases of medium bronchial foreign body. The detection rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with a statistical significance ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The detection rate of neural networks in MSCT is higher than that of X-ray, and the MSCT based on the artificial neural network can clearly show the morphology, position, and the relationship between the foreign body and trachea, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Obstructive Pneumonia With Bronchial Foreign Body: A Case Report

Background: Bronchial foreign bodies are relatively uncommon in adults. There are a variety of symptoms induced by airway foreign bodies, although the typical symptoms of some bronchial foreign bodies are cough, wheezing, chest pain, hemoptysis and fever up. Case presentation: An 80-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with symptom of 7-month history of cough and pneumonia. His chest radiograph showed a slight increase in opacity. His vital signs and his laboratory data were almost normal. Chest computed tomography revealed obstructive pneumonia and a bronchial foreign body. We performed bronchoscopy and detected a fish bone as an intrabronchial foreign body and finally removed it from the bronchi.Conclusions:It is very important to carefully perform medical consultation about the current and past medical history. People in some countries and regions such as Japan have a habit of eating fish. It is necessary to more carefully consider the possibility of some bronchial foreign body such as a fish bone, when we observe symptoms of persistent cough.
