Bioengineering in Dermatology
• Study of Skin Function• Create new diagnostic devices
![Page 7: Skin Biometrology: What’s New? Alireza Firooz, MD Professor of Dermatology Center for Research & Training in Skin Diseases & Leprosy Tehran University](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649ef35503460f94c05c2b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Applications for Skin Testing Devices
• To assess the state of the skin, the human eye is a perfect instrument• However, it has certain limitations:• no storing of images for comparison of the course of the
skin treatment• The human eye can only look at the skin surface, not at
deeper skin layers• only subjective information• two different persons may judge the skin condition
differently

Patients
• Ten patients with postoperative linear abdominal scars greater than 6 cm in length were enrolled in this prospective study.
• The scar was divided into three equal parts, two parts were randomly assigned to be treated and one part was assigned to no treatment as the control.
• One treated part was treated with the PDL on the day of suture removal and the other was treated 9 weeks after suture removal.

MethodsThirty BMNs and 33 BCCs in the head and neck area were evaluated by using HFUS with 22- and 50-MHz hand-held transducers. The diagnosis of all lesions were later confirmed histopathologically. The echo-density was measured in the middle of the lesions as well as in the mid-dermis of the immediate surrounding normal skin.

Conclusion
1. There was not any significant difference between echodensity of BCC & BMN, so HFUS can not differentiate them.
2. Both BCC and BMN are significantly less echogenic than normal surrounding skin, so HFUS is a good non-invasive method for localization of these lesions, which can be used prior to surgery.
3. It has been shown than HFUS can help to differentiate between blue nevi & metastases of melanoma [7].
4. Also HFUS can help to determine length and width of BCC & SCC [6], and BCC [1, 9] prior to surgery and thus reduce number of surgical stages.
5. However, histology is still the gold standard for diagnosis of these lesions.
