Pattern of Gunshot Wounding: A Visual Approach Overview of Major Reviews

Anji Merajoth Naik

Abstract: Gunshot wounds (GSWs) remain a critical concern in public health, emergency medicine, and forensic science due to their complex nature and significant impact on human anatomy. This review highlights the importance of understanding wound patterns, influenced by factors such as firearm type, projectile velocity, and shooting distance, to improve forensic and clinical applications. Traditional and contemporary methods, including ballistic studies, wound trajectory analysis, and advanced imaging technologies like CT and MRI, are explored for their roles in visualizing and interpreting GSWs. Emerging tools, including 3D modeling and artificial intelligence, are transforming forensic investigations by providing accurate and reliable insights into wound dynamics, aiding law enforcement, trauma care, and medicolegal analysis. Emphasizing the integration of historical studies with modern advancements, the paper underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and ongoing research to enhance trauma management and forensic practices.
