TLDR Ultrasonography in dermatology improves diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions.
Dermatologic ultrasonography, a rapidly growing field over the past decade, had significant applications in modifying patient management by improving the assessment of various dermatologic conditions, including benign and malignant tumors, vascular anomalies, inflammatory entities, aesthetic complications, and nail lesions. It offered superior axial spatial resolution compared to other imaging techniques, thanks to advancements in high- and ultra-high-frequency probes. The routine use of ultrasonography in dermatology was reported to enhance diagnostic accuracy, track disease activity, and assess severity, thereby supporting improved patient treatment.
