Interventions

  • Microvessel Ultrasound Examination — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    Ultrasound to evaluate microvessel formation and elastography or stiffness of the tissues around the ulcer and in an area of unaffected skin
  • Skin Biopsy — PROCEDURE
    Dermatology will remove a small piece of skin from the affected ulcer area and control skin

Study Details

The purpose of this research is to explore the use of high-resolution microvessel ultrasound imaging system to look for scarring and to monitor wound healing and to see if treatment affects the amount of tiny vessels and circulation around the wound.
