[Gunshot reconstructions based on individually parametrical 3-dimensional victim models].

In cases of lethal firearm injuries computer enhanced anatomical feasibility studies can provide unambiguous clues concerning self-versus extraneous infliction. To this end individualized digital 3-dimensional geometrical models of the victim and the weapon are generated true to scale with the help of the CAD software (POSER Version 4, egi.sys AG). All anatomical data relevant to the motion apparatus and the range of movement as well as the injuries of the individual victim are carefully documented and serve as input parameters for the digital geometrical model. The bullet path is visualized as a cylinder between entrance and exit wound. A series of simulation sequences then can be carried out by the variation of anatomically possible shot positions and the virtual grasp of the weapon. An exact alignment of the firearm's barrel and the bullet path is a reliable statement for the feasibility of self-infliction. In addition to circumstantial evidence the digital reconstruction of the firearm shot admits of unambiguous conclusions about the course of the traumatic event.

[Surgical findings in an Egyptian mummy's skull].

Reports of hard and soft tissue injuries of the head in ancient Egypt were first published in the surgical "Book of Wounds" of E. Smith's Papyrus, which dates back to the 16th century B.C., and is assumed (Pahl, 1986) to be a collection of experiences gained over a thousand years. Diagnostic clues and guidelines for the treatment of fractures of the maxilla and the zygomatic bone are described in several cases.

[CT structural analysis of the ramus].

Size and quality of the medullary space in the mandibular ramus are highly variable. Mean value studies using CT scans show a broad range of variation for vertical measurements of the medullary space. An individual CT scan of the mandibular ramus therefore seems to be necessary to establish the optimum line of osteotomy in preparing a sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible.
