Complete visualization of lesions is critical for the accurate diagnosis and management of dermatological diseases. Currently, the most readily available technologies used by dermatologists include dermoscopy and photography. Nevertheless, ultrasound has emerged as a useful non-invasive modality in dermatology, which can be added to the clinical examination supporting an early and more accurate diagnosis. Moreover, there are significant technological advances in recent years, such as the development of handheld devices and ultra-high frequency probes that have expanded the integration of ultrasound into daily dermatology practice. In this article, we reviewed the most common applications of ultrasound in the field of dermatology.
病变的完全可视化对于皮肤病的准确诊断和治疗至关重要。目前,皮肤科医生最常用的技术包括皮肤镜检查和摄影。然而,超声已成为皮肤科有用的无创手段,可以添加到临床检查中,以支持更早、更准确的诊断。此外,近年来技术有了重大进步,例如开发了手持式设备和超高频率探头,从而将超声技术更广泛地整合到日常皮肤科实践中。本文综述了超声在皮肤科领域的常见应用。
