The skin thickness in a group of patients with scleredema was measured using ultrasonic techniques and then compared with a group of normal individuals. The mean dermal thickness in scleredema was 7.7 mm, compared to 3.3 mm in the normal control group. Ultrasonic evaluation of skin thickness may be of value in following the natural history or response to therapy of certain diseases that affect dermal thickness.
使用超声技术测量了一组硬肿症患者的皮肤厚度，然后将其与一组正常个体进行比较。硬肿症患者的平均真皮厚度为7.7毫米，而正常对照组为3.3毫米。超声评估皮肤厚度对于追踪某些影响真皮厚度的疾病的自然病程或治疗反应可能具有价值。
