Red Traces of Evidence: The Ecchymosis Imaging System

“The victim shows no apparent trauma, but is actually bleeding beneath the skin.” In cases such as this, in which evidence can be difficult to be observed, receiving legal justice can be difficult for victims. The Instrument Technology Research Center (ITRC) of National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs) has successfully developed the Ecchymosis Imaging System. With testimony from internationally renowned forensics expert Dr. Henry Lee, the system performs complete and comprehensive identification of ecchymosis, which is typically invisible at the early stages of injury. This system is the most effective tool built for criminal forensics in Taiwan, in that it facilitates protecting the rights and interests of the general public.

A Complete Ecchymosis Detection Technology Is Required to Enable Rapid Ecchymosis Detection
Ecchymosis is a manifestation of a disease or physical injury in the human body. The most common physical injuries are generally associated with external collisions such as car accidents, falls, and impact with a blunt object. ba

Ecchymosis Imaging System Enables an Entire Realm of Forensic Evidence Gathering
Technologically, ITRC has surpassed the current bottleneck of oxygen saturation detection being able to provide information of only a single point, and has developed a skin oxygen saturation distribution imaging system for a large surface area (up to 8 × 8 cm). The sensitivity and applicability of the system is extremely high. Users can quickly determine the status of bleeding beneath skin by reading the color gradations. In addition, this technology is not li
