Blood Stain Pattern Analysis
Blood stain pattern analysis can help determine mechanisms that created blood stain patterns, sequence of events, and the location of the blood source or injury within a scene, including spatter stains caused by external force applied to liquid blood. Diluting blood stain patterns with water or cleaning agents can blur the well-defined edges of the pattern.

Blood stain pattern analysis involves using patterns to determine the kind of mechanisms that created it, the sequence of events, or the location of the blood source or injury.

Summary
Blood stain pattern analysis involves using patterns to determine the kind of mechanisms that created it, the sequence of events, or the location of the blood source or injury. Spatter stains are elliptical or circular stains that result from external force being applied to liquid blood from a surface or injury itself.
