The accuracy of elastographic strain ratio and ultrasound thickness in the differentiation of thin and thick cutaneous melanoma.

CONCLUSION: Despite the appearance that SR may correlate with the depth of the lesion, elastography, by measuring the SRs to dermis and hypodermis, does not have enough accuracy in distinguishing thin and thick melanoma. PMID: 31091968 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
