Enhancing Hidradenitis Suppurativa Assessment
The study underscores the critical role of UHFUS as a non-invasive technique for the precise assessment of HS. The integration of UHFUS with a 70 MHz probe significantly enhances the detection of subclinical lesions, such as microtunnels, enabling timely intervention and potentially preventing disease progression. Despite the study's limitations, including its monocentric design and small sample size, the findings support the use of UHFUS in improving the accuracy of HS severity assessment.
