    AbstractRadiological imaging can provide valuable additional information, facilitate and improve the quality of subsequent autopsy. Although the use of cross-sectional imaging methods is increasing, they are not always available in medico-legal practice. In many cases it is advisable to perform conventional X-rays before autopsy, especially in cases of gunshot injuries, as illustrated by a case in which the victim suffered several gunshot wounds with one projectile lodged in a vertebral body. The radiological findings essentially contributed to the rapid location of the projectiles and the reconstruction of the bullet paths.
