X-ray diagnosis of blind skull wounds

Both during the Great Patriotic War and in the postwar years, many works were devoted to the radiological study of blind gunshot wounds of the skull, but only a small number of these works refer to blind brain wounds (I.S. Babchin and H.S. Kosinskaya, M.B. Kopylov, G.N. Traister and P.N. Smelyansky and others). Although these works contributed to the improvement of precise X-ray diagnostics of blind wounds, a unified method of X-ray examination of the skull and brain injuries has not been developed yet; also there is no generally accepted form of presenting the results of X-ray examination. This circumstance prompted us to publish the present report, devoted to the technique of interpreting and logging radiographs for blind cranial wounds, based on the results of many years of work in wartime and peacetime neurosurgical institutions and on the study of the existing radiological literature.
