Abstract
Victims of violence have latent cutaneous bruises due to skin color, injury age, or depth. A randomized controlled trial measured the effectiveness of alternate light sources in improving visibility over white light, while exploring effects of skin color, gender, localized fat/muscles, bruise size and color on specific wavelengths over time.
