[Direct radiographic magnification in forensic medicine].
The aims in medico-legal investigation of wounds are description of the wound morphology, the characterization of force applied and the identification of the weapon used. The detection of foreign bodies (paint fragments, glass particles, sand or gravel particles, rust particles and powder residues) in or around the wound can be of great value. The suitability of X-ray magnification for the detection of such foreign bodies was investigated in the present study. Other possible applications of this method in forensic practice are discussed.
