Mason's acclaimed interdisciplinary research in using Alternate Light Sources for bruise detection, as featured on NBC Nightly News, is led by Katherine Scafide, David Lattanzi, and Janusz Wojtusiak. The funding will expand the team's bruise detection system that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), imaging and light technologies, forensic reports, and clinical expertise to increase data collection and access to care for trauma victims.

梅森在使用替代光源检测瘀伤方面备受赞誉的跨学科研究由凯瑟琳·斯卡菲德、戴维·拉坦齐和贾努斯·沃伊图西亚克领导，该研究在NBC《晚间新闻》上播出。这笔资金将扩大该团队的瘀伤检测系统，该系统利用人工智能（AI），成像和光技术，法医报告和临床专业知识来增加数据收集和创伤受害者的护理。

The technology can be used across all skin tones and responds to deficits in the identification of physical injuries particularly among people with darker skin tones..

该技术可用于所有肤色，并对识别身体伤害的缺陷做出反应，尤其是在肤色较深的人群中。。

'By improving documentation of physical trauma, we hope to address disparities in clinical care which can lead to improved healthcare for all as well as legal recourse for all survivors of violence,' said Scafide, forensic nurse, research leader, and Associate Professor of Nursing in Mason's College of Public Health.

梅森公共卫生学院（Mason's College of Public Health）法医护士、研究负责人、护理副教授斯卡菲德（Scafide）说：“通过改进身体创伤的记录，我们希望解决临床护理方面的差异，从而改善所有人的医疗保健，并为所有暴力幸存者提供法律追索。”。

'This gift expands Mason's leadership in developing new technologies to empower vulnerable communities.'One in 3 women worldwide experience physical trauma at the hands of an intimate partner or stranger. In the United States, over 10 million women and men grapple with intimate partner violence each year. Among domestic violence survivors, bruises and soft tissue trauma are the most reported injuries.

“这份礼物扩大了梅森在开发新技术以增强弱势群体能力方面的领导地位。”全世界有三分之一的女性在亲密伴侣或陌生人的手中遭受身体创伤。在美国，每年有1000多万男女与亲密伴侣暴力作斗争。在家庭暴力幸存者中，瘀伤和软组织创伤是报告最多的伤害。

When injuries are accurately documented, survivors are more likely to participate in the criminal justice process, according to recent studies on interpersonal violence and reporting. In addition, family and partner violence and elder abuse can lead to a host of other public health issues such as infectious and noninfectious diseases, mental health trauma, and reproductive health problems.'A vital piece to success is ensuring that any AI tool has access to in-depth data from all skin tones and skin characteristics alongside human expert analysis,' said Lattanzi, associate professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering in the College of Engineering. Supporters working on ending domestic violence commended the announcement.Ruth Glenn, President of Survivor Justice Action, applauds the groundbreaking work led by Dr.

根据最近关于人际暴力和报告的研究，如果伤害得到准确记录，幸存者更有可能参与刑事司法程序。此外，家庭和伴侣暴力以及虐待老年人会导致一系列其他公共卫生问题，如传染病和非传染病、心理健康创伤和生殖健康问题。”工程学院土木、环境和基础设施工程系副教授拉坦齐（Lattanzi）说，成功的关键是确保任何人工智能工具都能获得来自所有肤色和皮肤特征的深入数据以及人类专家分析。致力于终止家庭暴力的支持者对这一宣布表示赞赏。幸存者正义行动（Survivor Justice Action）总裁露丝·格伦（RuthGlenn）赞扬了博士领导的开创性工作。
