High-frequency ultrasound devices are able to provide high-resolution images of the skin successfully. Therefore
the high-frequency ultrasound with the frequency of 20~75 MHz may provide valuable and non-invasive diagnostic information for various benign and malignant skin tumors
inflammatory diseases
wounds and infections. But
due to the characteristics of skin structure including thinness and stratification
special attention should be paid to the clinical application of high-frequency ultrasound in dermatology
meanwhile
some challenges may be encountered. Herein
this article reviewed the principle
situation and prospect of the application of high-frequency ultrasound in dermatology.
