High-frequency ultrasound with elastography can help differentiate between malignant and non-malignant skin conditions, as per a research studypresented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). "High-frequency ultrasound with elastography has the potential to improve the efficiency of skin cancer diagnosis," said main author Eliot L. Siegel, M.D., vice chairman of the Department of Radiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSM) in Baltimore.
