Multiparametric ultrasound examination of the dermal skin layer using high-frequency probes

Objective. Formulation and explication of the principles of high-frequency multiparametric ultrasound examination of the dermal skin layer. Description of the algorithm for ultrasound examination of the dermal skin layer using high-frequency ultrasound probes.

Materials and Methods. Data on the structure of the dermal skin layer were obtained from 36 patients using high-frequency ultrasound probes (18.0–24.0 MHz) from different manufacturers: LA435/SL3116 (Esaote) and i18LX5/i24LX8 (Canon).

Results. The study evaluated the capabilities of high-frequency ultrasound probes for assessing the thickness and structure of the dermal skin layer. An algorithm for multiparametric ultrasound examination of the dermal skin layer was described.

Conclusions. The principles of multiparametric ultrasound examination of the dermal skin layer were established based on the study findings. These principles enable the effective use of high-frequency ultrasound for differentiation and evaluation of the examined structures.
