Examination of metal mobilization from a gunshot by scanning acoustic microscopy scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy: a case report

摘要

BackgroundProjectile foreign bodies are known to cause chronic heavy metal toxicity due to the release of metal into the bloodstream. However, the local effect around the metallic object has not been investigated and the main goal of our study is to examine the influence of the object in close proximity of the object.
