title: The photography of bruises.
abstract: This pilot study demonstrates four different photographic lighting techniques (using visible, red free, infrared and ultraviolet) with digital technology to record a bruise. It is suggested that it may be possible to record accurately the size of a bruise at different stages from injury to healing, using one or more of these techniques.
