Ultrasonic scanners are a commonly used medical device widely used in various fields. In the field of dermatology, as a non-invasive diagnostic tool, it can not only help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose various skin diseases, but also quantitatively analyze skin lesions and evaluate the treatment effect.

Application of ultrasonic scanner in diagnosis of dermatology

Ultrasonic scanner is a technology that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect the internal tissue structure of the human body. In the field of dermatology, its main applications include the following aspects:

(1) Detection of subcutaneous tissue and blood flow

Ultrasound scanners can help doctors observe the condition of a patient's subcutaneous tissue, such as detecting subcutaneous soft tissue lumps, infections, pus discharge, or deep vascular lesions. In addition, ultrasound scanning can also non-invasive check the skin blood flow situation, which can determine the local microcirculation status by calculating parameters such as skin blood flow velocity and flow rate. This plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of skin diseases.

(2) Detection of skin lumps and nodules

Ultrasound scanners can quickly and accurately diagnose tumors and nodules on the skin, such as benign or malignant tumors, cysts, cellulitis, hemangiomas, etc. By conducting three-dimensional scanning and quantitative analysis of the lesion site, doctors can more accurately assess the condition and provide patients with more accurate treatment strategies.

(3) Detection of skin accessory organs

Ultrasound scanners can also help doctors examine the condition of skin accessory organs, such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. By observing parameters such as the shape, size, quantity, and distribution of skin accessory organs, doctors can better understand the patient's skin condition and develop personalized treatment plans accordingly.

(4) Diagnosis of skin injury

Ultrasound scanners can help doctors diagnose various skin injuries, such as congestion, bruising, burns, wounds, etc. The use of ultrasound scanners can visually observe the tissue structure and blood flow of the skin, thereby better assessing the degree of injury and treatment plans.

The role of ultrasonic scanner in dermatology treatment

In addition to playing an important role in dermatology diagnosis, ultrasonic scanners can also help doctors perform non-invasive treatment on patients, and promote wound healing and tissue repair.
