• Microvessel Ultrasound Imaging of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissues to Evaluate Wound Healing in Patients with Chronic Ulcers Rochester, Minn.

  The purpose of this study is to explore the application of high-resolution microvessel ultrasound imaging system to non-invasively monitor the process of wound healing, including measurements of microvessel density and microcirculation. Comparison will be made to skin biopsies at the edges of the ulcer to correlate microvessel ultrasound finidngs with angioplasia and fibrosis. Correlation will also be made to clinical assessment of treatment response and wound healing.
