Abstract
To evaluate the safety of using ultrasound to image exploding bullets that have not detonated. We evaluated various types of exploding bullets using ultrasonography at various depths with various transducers and using standard radiography. None of the unexploded bullets subjected to ultrasonography or standard radiography exploded. Our results suggest that evaluation of exploding bullets with ultrasonography is safe.
