Why skin ultrasound is different
Skin ultrasound uses dedicated high-frequency probes that provide detailed imaging of superficial structures, unlike standard abdominal or thyroid ultrasound.
What clinicians assess
- lesion depth,
- lesion boundaries,
- proximity to critical structures.
Role in planning treatment
Accurate depth assessment supports selection of therapeutic technique and treatment range, especially when local procedures are considered.
Combined diagnostics
For best clinical interpretation, ultrasound findings are considered together with clinical exam and dermoscopy.
