Abstract

Dermatologic ultrasonography is a new field that has been growing exponentially in the last 10 years. It has multiple applications that can modify patient management, such as the assessment of benign and malignant cutaneous tumors, vascular anomalies, inflammatory dermatologic entities, aesthetic complications, and nail lesions. Compared with other imaging techniques such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography has the highest axial spatial resolution and has benefited from the development of high- and ultra-high-frequency probes that could even reach 70 MHz. The daily use of ultrasonography in dermatology has been reported to improve the accuracy of diagnoses, the tracking of activity, and the assessment of severity in common dermatologic conditions, which certainly can support better treatment of patients.
