Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate whether the detection of foreign bodies can be improved using dark-field and phase-contrast radiography compared with conventional (transmission) radiographs. Materials and Methods Experiments were performed using ex vivo pig paws, which were prepared with differently sized foreign bodies of metal, wood, and glass (n = 10 each). Paws without foreign bodies served as controls (n = 30). All images were acquired using an experimental grating-based large object radiography system. Five blinded readers (second- to fourth-year radiology residents) were asked to assess the presence or absence of any foreign body. Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of metal, wood, glass, and any foreign body were calculated and compared using McNemar test and generalized linear mixed models. Results Sensitivity for the detection of metal foreign bodies was 100% for all readers and image combinations. The sensitivity for the detection of wooden foreign bodies increased from 2% for transmission images to 78% when dark-field images were added (P
