The models were shot through the foil bag with 9 x 19 mm pistol ammunition and the following day underwent CT examination. Thin foil bags containing a mixture of acryl paint and barium meal were glued onto each sphere and the assembly coated with a layer of silicone. constructed four head models using hollow spheres filled with 10% gelatine. Other authors have used CT imaging for ballistic experiments. ![]() In the later experiments, a pulsed X-ray source was used to produce a train of 50 images at millisecond intervals during the impact events and a cine camera used to capture the resulting images. The models were impacted with either 3 or 6 mm diameter ball bearings (with velocities between ~200 to 1300 m/s, ) in a series of 12 experiments. used a model consisting of dried human skulls filled with 20% gelatine and covered with two layers of gelatin soaked chamois leather. describe using an X-ray apparatus with an exposure time of 1 microsecond to capture temporary cavity formation in the brains of anaesthetised animals (cats and dogs) impacted by steel spheres at between 38 ft/s. Imaging studies have gone hand in hand with experiments to understand ballistic injury mechanisms.īutler et al. They also postulated the role of imaging for ‘virtual’ autopsies. The authors concluded that the model produced realistic features of gunshot injury and that the CT examination and the ‘autopsy’ revealed very similar data. The images were, in turn, compared to the findings when the model underwent ‘autopsy’. The impact sequence was captured with high-speed photography and the model underwent radiographic computed tomography (CT) examination to visualise the wound tracts and fractures. ![]() also described using their model to look at fracture pattern development from a 9-mm bullet impact. 44 Rem Mag, 7.62 × 51 mm NATO FMJ, 7.62 x 39 mm FMJ and 12/70 Brenneke Slug), the authors reported that the results were comparable to those of real gunshot injuries. After shooting the model with a series of ammunition types (9 mm Luger Full Metal Jacket, FMJ, 22LR. ![]() developed a ‘skin-skull-brain model’ made of a silicone scalp, a layered polyurethane sphere to represent the skull, and gelatine 10% at 4 ☌ to simulate brain. Īn acknowledged limitation of the model to date has been the lack of skin and soft tissue layers around the synthetic skull. Preliminary work has been reported along with a further development assessing the fracture patterns produced in the model under ballistic impact for clinical realism. The Impact and Armour Group at Cranfield University, Defence Academy of the UK are working on an anatomically correct synthetic model of ballistic head injury for this purpose. Ballistic head injury is a significant threat to troops in combat and ongoing research is needed to assist designers of military helmets and associated personal protective equipment. ![]()
