The present essay is aimed at getting the radiologist familiar with the basic histological skin structure, allowing for a better correlation with sonographic findings. A high-frequency (22 MHz) ultrasonography apparatus was utilized in the present study. The histological analysis was performed after the skin specimens fixation with formalin, inclusion in paraffin blocks and subsequent staining with hematoxylin-eosin. The authors present a literature review showing the relationship between sonographic and histological findings in normal cutaneous tissue, and discuss the technique for a better performance of the sonographic scan. High-frequency ultrasonography is an excellent tool for the diagnosis of different skin conditions. However, as this method is operator-dependent, it is crucial to understand the normal skin structure as well as the correlation between histological and sonographic findings.

Actinic keratoses (AK) usually occur on sun-exposed areas in elderly patients with Fitzpatrick I-II skin types. Dermatoscopy and ultrasonography are two non-invasive tools helpful in examining clinically suspicious lesions. This study presents the usefulness of image-processing algorithms in AK staging based on dermatoscopic and ultrasonographic images.

In this article, the propagation of high-frequency (HF) plane electromagnetic waves through the lower ionosphere is numerically investigated using the real geometry of the Earth's magnetic field in the northern hemisphere. For this purpose, the profiles of electron density and the collision frequency in the layers of the lower ionosphere (D- and E-region) are considered using the reported experimental data for day and night. The reflection, transmission, and absorption coefficients of HF radio waves in the frequency range of 3 to 30 MHz are calculated in the ionosphere plasma.

This feasibility study presents a novel noncontact method for differentiating standard cannabidiol (CBD) concentrations using optimized interdigital electrodes. The electrode design, with a 100 mm sensing area on a 64 mm × 77 mm FR-4 substrate, was improved through finite element analysis. Methanol-CBD solutions (25-1000 ppm) in 2 mL glass vials were analyzed using a vector network analyzer connected via a high-frequency SMA connector, focusing on scattering parameter (S-parameter) changes.

The last decades have brought an interest in ultrasound applications in dermatology. Especially in the case of atopic dermatitis, where the formation of a subepidermal low echogenic band (SLEB) may serve as an independent indicator of the effects of treatment, the use of ultrasound is of particular interest. This study proposes and evaluates the computer-aided diagnosis method for assessing atopic dermatitis (AD).
