Swimmer's view: a diagnostic adjunct for oesophageal foreign bodies.
We describe the use of a common radiographic view of the lower cervical skeleton, 'Swimmer's View', to aid the diagnosis of foreign bodies in the upper oesophagus, which may be obscured by the clavicles. We further recommend this view when there is uncertainty over the nature of an impacted food bolus in this location, and luminal air is the only visible sign on a plain soft-tissue cervical radiograph.
