Abstract
Study Objective:
To evaluate the safety of using ultrasound to image exploding bullets that have not detonated.
Methods:
We evaluated various types of exploding bullets using ultrasonography at various depths with various transducers and using standard radiography.
Results:
None of the unexploded bullets subjected to ultrasonography or standard radiography exploded.
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that evaluation of exploding bullets with ultrasonography is safe.
