Imaging the Micron: New Directions in Diagnosis with Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound.

Ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography (UHFUS) is a medical imaging technique that provides high-resolution images of biological tissues. It has applications in dermatology, rheumatology, pediatrics, and oral medicine. In dermatology, UHFUS can assess skin thickness, diagnose skin conditions, and monitor treatment outcomes. In rheumatology, it is useful for evaluating glands and measuring epidermal thickness. In pediatrics, UHFUS is used for dermatological assessments, musculoskeletal imaging, and evaluating conditions like Hirschsprung's disease. UHFUS is also beneficial in oral medicine, peripheral nerve imaging, and monitoring lipohypertrophy in diabetes patients. It offers real-time imaging, avoids radiation exposure, and allows for repeat examinations. [Extracted from the article]
