High frequency ultrasound imaging has been reported as a potential method of identifying the suspected tissue damage in patients “at risk” of pressure ulceration. The aim of this study was to explore whether ultrasound images supported the clinical skin assessment in an inpatient population through identification of subcutaneous tissue damage. Skin on the heels and/or sacral coccygeal area of fifty vascular surgery inpatients was assessed clinically by tissue viability nurses and with ultrasound pre operatively and at least every other day until discharge. Images were compared to routine clinical skin assessment outcomes. Qualitative classification of ultrasound images did not match outcomes yielded through the clinical skin assessment. Images corresponding to 16 participants were classified as subgroup 3 damage at the heels (equivalent to grade 2 pressure ulceration); clinical skin assessment rated no heels as greater than grade 1a (blanching erythema). Conversely, all images captured of the sacral coccygeal area were classified as normal; the clinical skin assessment rated two participants as grade 1b (non-blanching erythema). Ultrasound imaging is a potentially useful adjunct to the clinical skin assessment in providing information about the underlying tissue. However, further longitudinal clinical assessment is required to characterise images against actual and “staged” pressure ulceration.

To describe ultrasonographic image of human skin with cellulite, the authors used high-frequency ultrasound visualization of the skin with a frequency of 22 MHz using a system DUB (tpm GmbH Germany). The skin on the thigh in 15 patients with cellulite and in 10 patients in the control group was examined. The differences in thickness and acoustic density of dermis and subcutaneous tissue between the group of patients with cellulite and in control were described. Objective data of high frequency ultrasound allow to quantify morphological and functional parameters of the skin in the dynamics and results of cellulite correction.

Introduction: Many women consider local fat deposits unacceptable for aesthetic reasons as they have negative impact on appearance and thus, contribute to reduced self-esteem. Injection lipolysis (intralipotherapy) may be an alternative for conventional liposuction in reducing fat deposits. Aim: The aim of this paper was to assess the efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound-guided injection of deoxycholic acid (intralipotherapy) to remove fat deposits on the inner side of knees. Materials and methods: The procedure was performed in 7 women (14 inner sides of knees). The formulation was administered under high-frequency ultrasound guidance. The procedure was performed twice at 4-week intervals in each patient. Highfrequency ultrasound guidance was used to monitor such parameters as the thickness of the dermis (DermaMed, Dramiński S.A.) or the subcutaneous tissue (Philips Epiq 5, USA). Ultrasound was performed both before and after treatment. Additionally, anthropometric measurements were taken, a questionnaire was performed, and a photographic documentation was recorded. Results: Reduction in knee circumference and subcutaneous tissue occurred in 71.42% of patients. Conclusions: Intralipolysis with deoxycholic acid formulation is an effective method for reducing fat deposits on the inner part of the knees. Ultrasonography proved to be a useful method to monitor the procedure (correct administration of the preparation) and to assess treatment outcomes. A small sample size was a limitation of our study; therefore further studies are needed.

Introduction: Lipodermatosclerosis is a symptom of severe venous insufficiency, the diagnosis of which is based on the clinical picture. Although the histopathology of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue allows for the most reliable diagnosis, it is not recommended due to healing disorders. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of high-frequency ultrasound in the diagnosis of lipodermatosclerosis. Materials and methods: The study included 10 patients with lipodermatosclerosis who underwent Duplex Doppler ultrasound of lower limb veins, high-frequency ultrasound of the tibial skin, and radiography of the lower leg, all of which were analyzed in correlation with clinical symptoms. Results: The study group included 9 women and 1 man aged 39–81 years. Manifestations of lipodermatosclerosis were detected in 14 limbs. High-frequency ultrasound showed that the mean dermis thickness at the affected sites was 2.63 mm, and was significantly thicker compared to healthy skin (1.45 mm) (p = 0.00002). Higher echogenicity was detected in the affected body regions in 85.7% of cases for the skin and 92.9% of cases for the subcutaneous tissue. Subcutaneous and vascular wall calcifications were detected in 92.9% and 78.6% of cases, respectively. Fibrosis was observed in all limbs, and compression sonoelastography showed that the compliance of the subcutaneous tissue was lower than that of muscles. The border between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue was blurred in 57.1% of cases. Radiography revealed thickening of the affected skin regions in all limbs, with calcifications detected in 85.7% of cases. A blurred border between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue was observed in 35.7% of limbs. Conclusion: High-frequency ultrasonography of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue in the lower legs supported with radiological findings is highly useful in the diagnosis of lipodermatosclerosis.
