B-mode ultrasound scanning was studied as a noninvasive means of determining skin thickness in the extremities of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis. Skin thickness determined by ultrasonic scanning was compared with skin thickness determined by an established radiographic technique. A high degree of correlation was observed between measurements made by these techniques. Our studies suggest a potential application of B-mode ultrasound in the diagnosis and serial evaluation of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis.
对B型超声扫描作为一种测定进行性系统性硬化症患者四肢皮肤厚度的非侵入性方法进行了研究。将超声扫描测定的皮肤厚度与既定的放射学技术测定的皮肤厚度进行了比较。观察到这些技术所做测量之间具有高度相关性。我们的研究表明B型超声在进行性系统性硬化症患者的诊断和系列评估中具有潜在应用价值。
