Neck Airway (Soft Tissue) X-ray

This x-ray is aimed at the airway and the soft tissues of the neck rather than at the neck bones. The column of air running down the throat shows up dark on the film, so anything narrowing or pushing on it stands out. It is most often taken in a child with noisy, difficult breathing.
