Abstract
Improved developments in digital ultrasound technology and the use of high‑frequency
broadband transducers make ultrasound (US) imaging the first screening tool in
investigating superficial tissue lesions. US is a safe (no ionizing radiation), portable,
easily repeatable, and cheap form of imaging compared to other imaging modalities.
US is an excellent imaging modality to determine the nature of a mass lesion (cystic or
solid) and its anatomic relation to adjoining structures. Masses can be characterized
in terms of their size, number, component, and vascularity with US and Doppler US
especially with power Doppler US. US, however, is operator dependent and has a
number of artifacts that can result in misinterpretation.
In this review, we emphasize the role of ultrasound, particularly power Doppler, in
superficial soft‑tissue lesions.
