Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, cutaneous ultrasound has emerged as a key tool in the diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic planning of a wide range of dermatological conditions. Thanks to its non-invasive nature, increasing accessibility, and ability to provide real-time information on skin structure and vascularization, ultrasound has become an essential complement to traditional clinical evaluation.
This Special Issue aims at gathering original research, reviews, and clinical articles that explore recent advances in the application of ultrasound in dermatology. Topics will include the assessment of inflammatory, infectious, and tumoral skin diseases, as well as applications in aesthetic dermatology, image-guided interventions, and the evaluation of therapeutic responses.
This collection is intended for dermatologists, radiologists, and all healthcare professionals interested in incorporating cutaneous ultrasound into their clinical or research practice. Technical aspects, training, the validation of ultrasound scoring systems, and correlation with other imaging techniques will also be considered.
Dr. Priscila Giavedoni
Guest Editor
