Ultrasonographic Patterns and Pathological Correlation in the Diagnosis of Subcutaneous Nodules

Sponsor: Mahidol University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The objective of this study is to explore the role of ultrasonography (non-invasive imaging device) in the diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules (mass/bumb underneath the skin). Patients who presented with subcutaneous nodules and was indicated for diagnostic skin biopsies were recruited. Prior to skin biopsies (not part of the study's intervention), ultrasonography(intervention) was used to examine the characteristics of the nodules. The ultrasonographic findings are then compared to the pathological results to explore the role of ultrasonography in differentiating each disease or group of diseases that presented with skin nodules.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Transcutaneous ultrasound

The ultrasonographic characteristics of the subcutaneous nodules were evaluated using an ultrasound machine (Venue Go™, wide-band linear array ultrasound probe (hockey stick shape), frequency range between 6.7 MHz and 18.0 MHz, from GE HealthCare Illinois, United States). The procedure for capturing images at the location of the lesion of interest is as follows: * Brightness mode (B-mode): Record at least 4 images using a depth of 2 cm. * Color Doppler mode: Record images along the vertical axis (1 image) and along the horizontal axis (1 image). The two axes mentioned above must be perpendicular to each other. * Video recording: Capture at least 10 seconds of video in both Brightness mode and Color Doppler mode.
