The fishbone is stuck in the esophagus. Can you tell by chest X-ray?

You can see that chest X-ray is called fluoroscopy, which is a common X-ray examination method. It uses the characteristics of X-ray's penetrability, fluorescence and photographic effect to make the human body form an image on the screen. Due to the difference in density and thickness of human tissues, when X-rays penetrate different tissues, the absorption degree of X-rays is different, so the amount of X-rays reaching the screen is also different, forming a black-and-white contrast image, which provides a basis for doctors' diagnosis.
