Comparison of visible-light and infrared photography for visualizing hematomas postmortem

 


Postmortem visualization of hematomas is a critical aspect of forensic pathology, as it aids in determining the extent and timing of injuries. While visible-light photography captures surface-level details of bruises and discolorations, infrared (IR) photography provides a deeper look beneath the skin, making it particularly effective for detecting hematomas that are not visible to the naked eye. This comparative study explores the strengths and limitations of both methods, focusing on factors such as resolution, contrast, depth of visualization, and forensic applicability. It also highlights the potential for IR photography to detect aged or concealed bruises in challenging forensic cases.
