Representative injuries in patients from the mass casualty incident of October 7, 2023. (A) Axial CT scan at the pelvic level in a 34-year-old male patient shows multiple shrapnel fragments in the pelvis, resulting in fractures of the pelvic bones and lumbar vertebrae (not visible on this image). (B) Coronal reconstruction of a head CT scan in a 20-year-old male patient shows penetrating trauma to the left eyeball with a retained bullet in the orbital cavity. (C) Radiograph of a fetus delivered by emergency cesarean section from a critically injured mother shows a left pneumothorax and catheter in place. (D) Radiograph in a 25-year-old female patient shows a comminuted fracture in the tibial metaphysis with fragment displacement and multiple bony fragments in the surrounding soft tissues.
