Ultrasonographic evaluation of an unusual peri-anal induration: a possible case of deep tissue injury

J Wound Care. 2007 Sep;16(8):365-7. doi: 10.12968/jowc.2007.16.8.27859.

Abstract

High-resolution ultrasound produces good quality echo images of skin and subcutaneous lesions. Here, it was used to characterise an atypical induration, which the authors speculate might have been a deep tissue injury.
