Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved? (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adams, C., Moorehead, A., Stinson, M., Porter-Armstrong, A., Gardner, E., Donnelly, J., …Lyder, C. (2008). Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved?. In EPUAP Review: Volume 9, Issue 2, 2008

Introduction High frequency ultrasound scanning (HFUS), at a frequency of 20MHz, allows real-time two-dimensional imaging of internal structures in a non-invasive manner and can identify areas of oedema underlying the skin. To date, no studies explo... Read More about Repeatability of high frequency ultrasound scanning in pressure ulcer prevention: can it be achieved?.
