From: Heavy metal in radiology: how to reliably differentiate between lodged copper and lead bullets using CT numbers

Fig. 4

Mean computed tomography (CT) numbers obtained from the cores (a) and the edges (b) of the bullets and the maximum CT numbers obtained from the cores (c) and the edges (d) of the bullets. The CT numbers of these two types of bullets demonstrate a strong overlap. The CT numbers from the cores were much lower than those from the edges. The red dashed line indicates the upper limit of the extended CT scale (ECTS)
