چکیده
The interaction of high-frequency ultrasound waves with the skin provides the basis for noninvasive, fast, and accessible diagnostic imaging. This tool is increasingly used in skin cancer and inflammatory conditions as well as in cosmetic dermatology. This article reviews the basic principles of skin ultrasound and its applications in the different areas of dermatology.

متن کاملDesign, Evaluation and Prototyping of a New Robotic Mechanism for Ultrasound Imaging
This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...
متن کاملA NEW HIGH FREQUENCY ULTRASOUND SKIN IMAGING SYSTEM Imaging properties and clinical in vivo results
In this paper, a new high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) system for high resolution skin imaging is presented. For imaging, mechanical scans are performed with spherically focused single element transducers. Two separate applicators with different transducers are utilized to fulfill the different requirements for imaging the skin with 20MHz ultrasound and for lower range high resolution imaging of...
متن کاملUltrasound image of the skin, apparatus and imaging basics
Ultrasound imaging of the skin is becoming more and more popular. Skin ultrasound examinations are used both in order to assess healthy skin and to evaluate pathological lesions. They are mainly performed in dermatology as well as in broadly understood aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. At present, skin imaging is enabled by high-frequency equipment and high-quality conventional devices. The i...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Ultrasound Imaging of Melanocytic and Other Pigmented Lesions of the Skin
For two main reasons, dermatology is one of the later medical disciplines to use imaging techniques: 1) skin lesions are readily visible to the naked eye or through a magnifying glass, allowing clinical diagnosis with no invasive examination, 2) skin lesions can easily be biopsied or removed for histological study. This approach has therefore remained the basis of clinicopathological diagnosis ...
