Application of ultrasound in assessing burn depth

Abstract

Conventional pulse echo ultrasound equipment was modified to provide resolution capable of distinguishing the interfaces in burnt skin. The identification of these interfaces allowed a quantitative assessment of the depth of a burn. Ultrasound is non-invasive and accurate, and so is highly acceptable for clinical use.
