High-resolution ultrasound for keloids and hypertrophic scar assessment.

Most of the widely used scales to evaluate scars are subjective relying on clinical observations. There is a growing need to find out a noninvasive objective tool for this purpose. The study is aimed at evaluating the value of the high-resolution ultrasound in the assessment of the scars when compared with a clinical evaluation scoring system, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).
