Abstract:
Objective Developing a high-frequency ultrasonic skin imaging system to obtain the high resolution ultrasonic image of the skin. And further analyzing the ultrasonic images of skin to explore the imaging characteristics of skin structure and then explore the value of high-frequency imaging in the application of skin diagnosis. Methods 50 MHz single element ultrasonic transducer, mechanic linear scanning method is used in the imaging system. The resolution and the ability of recognize the skin issue is verified by linear target scanning and clinical trials. Results Both the axial and lateral resolution of the system reaches 50 mm. The subtle structure of normal skin tissue is clearly visible. Some diseases have obvious appearance in the image. Conclusions 50 MHz ultrasonic skin imaging system is of high resolution and is valuable to skin structure detect and disease diagnosis.
