40 MHz Ultrasound Diagnostic System for Dermatologic Examination

Imaging of the skin and subcutaneous tissue using classical and high‐frequency ultrasonographies in anti‐cellulite therapy

“…The creation of high‐frequency ultrasound probes led to interest in imaging of the superficial tissues (1). Yanoet al (2) were the first to write about a device for sector imaging of the skin using a 40 MHZ probe. Their studies as well as those by other authors gave rise to a new area in the application of ultrasonography in dermatology and cosmetology.…”

The High Frequency (HF) Ultrasound as a Useful Imaging Technique for the Efficacy Assessment of Different Anti-Cellulite Treatments

“…Similar improvement was observed in the area of dermis-hypodermis junction ( Table 1). In the enrolled women, after treatment completion, this area was reduced on the average by 0.37 mm 2 , which means an improvement of 45.12% (Figure 5). The area dermis-hypodermis interface did not improved significantly in the placebo group.…”

“…Harnold and Miller, who first examined the skin using the 15 MHz ultrasound probes, are considered to be the pioneers in skin ultrasound scanning [1]. Yano's team developed one of the first skin ultrasound machines in 1980's [2]. Aesthetic medicine and cosmetology are the two areas, which may particularly benefit from the use of ultrasound scanning.…”

A New High Frequency Ultrasound Skin Imaging System: Imaging Properties and Clinical in Vivo Results

“…HFUS is applied for non invasive and high resolution imaging of tissues and organs like skin and eye on a microscopic level in terms of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . In this section, some fundamental design criteria, the system design and the system performance (spectral characteristics and resulting resolutions) of the implemented HFUS imaging system are discussed.…”
