description

Firearms are mechanical instruments that allow launching remote specific bodies with mass (bullets) exploiting burst gas energy. The role of imaging for ballistic trauma is crucial in order to define the main characteristics for both judiciary and nonjudiciary purpose, which are the intracorporeal trajectory, the entrance and exit wounds, and the general characteristics of gunshot injuries.
