High-frequency ultrasound image of normal skin (top left, site: forearm). High-frequency ultrasound image of hypertrophic scar (top right, site: shoulder). High-frequency ultrasound image of normal skin (top) and adjacent scar tissue (bottom) (bottom, site: shoulder). Note that the scars appear more hypo-echoic as it is more homogenic and thus appears darker. Colours represent the intensity of the acoustic signal with bright colours (yellow) representing high-intensity and darker colours (e.g. green, black) representing low-intensity areas.
