Abstract
Objective To explore the practicability and reliability on measuring the skin thickness of children by 13 mHz high-frequency ultrasound.Methods The skin thicknesses of children in 7 locations of the body were measured by 13 mHz high-frequency ultrasound.Thirty-four cases of children without systemic disease and injury in skin were chosen as objects.Results The 13 mHz high-frequency ultrasound could reveal the structure of epidermis and dermis clearly.The skin in back and fundament was thicker than that in cheek.Conclusion The ultrasound of 13 mHz can show the structure of skin clearly,and it can be used reliably in the measurement of skin thickness as a non-invasive method.
