$Lower chest and abdominal gunshot wound in a 27-year-old woman. A, B, Axial CT trajectograms depict the external BBs marking the entry wound in the right breast (arrow in A) and the exit wound in the dorsal left midback (arrow in B). After localizing the entry and exit wounds, the cut planes are swiveled obliquely in orthogonal planes to obtain a double-oblique orientation in which the wound track is visualized in profile. These points are used to create a curved multiplanar reconstruction. C, Curved multiplanar reconstruction from CT that was created along the pathway of the ballistic injury (dashed yellow arrow) demonstrates soft-tissue gas in the right breast (there was no intrathoracic or diaphragmatic violation), portal vein confluence extravasation centered in the grade V liver injury (orange arrow), and an L1 burst fracture (white arrow). The exit wound metallic marker (not shown) was located one section above that shown in C.$
