Strangest X-Rays: Doctors share images of the strangest things they have found stuck in people's rears

The radiologists who saw these X-rays pop up on their screens must have struggled to keep a straight face when asking the patients what had happened.

They show unusual items medical staff around the world have found inside patients' rectums.

They include a deodorant bottle, a pestle (which entered anus when the patient 'slipped while cooking Malaysian food'), a coffee jar and an orange.



The images have been shared by medical staff on Radiopaedia, an teaching and reference website founded by an Australian radiology student in 2005.

Although the examples seen below make for legitimate research and teaching material for radiologists, for others they serve as amusement, and for some, cautionary tales.
