title: [Forensic medicine roentgen studies in gunshot wounds of the skull].
abstract: 14 X-ray examined deaths caused by cranial bullet injuries are described. Three of them are demonstrated. In all cases with bullet injuries X-ray examination should be done prior to the post mortem. With radiographs bullets can be localised quickly. An antero-posterior and a lateral view are necessary. Little parts of the bullet and bone meal particles may be visible in radiographs along the path of the bullet; using normal technique of autopsy those details may not be visible.
