Scientists work on mapping trajectory of bullet wounds
Jan 11 2011
CT has already been demonstrated to be of value in tracking the routes of bullets in their victims, but the scientists say a cohesive approach to the process has not been developed as yet.
However, they now hope to devise a single means by which to map the course taken by the projectile after entering its victim, with advantages such as the ability to determine where the gunman was, if his position is not already known.
Lead author on the study Les R Folio says: "The information provided by multidetector CT has the potential to improve patient care and aid in both military and civilian forensic investigations."
The university specialises in providing training to nurses, physicians and educators working within the military sector on the unique issues faced in their roles.
