Gunshot Roentgenograms / A Collection of Roentgenograms Taken in Constantinople During the Turko-Balkan War, 1912-1913, Illustrating Some Gunshot Wounds in the Turkish Army

by Clyde S. Ford

Shrapnel—Plate 111.

CHEST.
Gunshot Wound of Chest, with
Lodgment of the Missile Superficially.

While the missile is not a shrapnel ball, it presents similar conditions and does not need to be separately classified.

The vertebral border of the scapula is distinctly shown in light shadow, indicating its position near the plate.

The outline of the missile is so distinct and the shadow so dense that it must lie near the plate, and is located superficially in the infraspinatus fossa.
