Abstract
Peanut inhalation in the right main bronchus of a 15-month-old boy was diagnosed using a T1-weighted image produced by magnetic reasonance i maging (MRI) because of the high fat content of the peanut. The T1-wei ghted MRI image may also be useful in diagnosing other kinds of aspira ted nuts with high lipid content as well as peanuts. This method does not involve any X-ray exposure.
