Abstract

Advances in radiologic imaging are being applied to the study of wound ballistics. Each of the modalities used (fluoroscopy, radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) has strengths and limitations. Cross sectional digital based modalities have advantages over traditional radiography and fluoroscopy for localization and recovery of projectiles and documentation of wound tracks. Data from multiplanar two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging can best be used by the forensic pathologist when combined with pathologic findings. With this information it may be possible to enhance the current understanding of wound ballistics.
