Ultrasound in the Diagnosis and Management of Skin Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) is being given increasing attention as a powerful and accessible tool in the field of dermatology, with the potential to enable non-invasive and efficient diagnosis and management of various skin disorders.

Skin cancer diagnosis and treatment planning, psoriasis therapy monitoring, and the staging of hidradenitis suppurativa are just a few examples—any skin disease extending into the dermis, internal disease with cutaneous involvement, or even wounds or cosmetic complications may be potential applications of HFUS.

This Special Issue is open to receiving publications on any application of ultrasound aiming to diagnose or guide intervention in any medical condition affecting the skin.

Publications involving the use of image processing, computer vision, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or the development and testing of novel ultrasound-based imaging techniques, modalities, or diagnostic/therapeutic protocols are especially welcome.
