Episcan displays wrinkles and cellulite (near right) and it proves the effectiveness and duration of moisturisers. Hair follicles and associated structures show up clearly and it is a powerful tool for evaluating existing products or research and development of new ones.

The Episcan I-200 ultrasound scanner provides non-invasive imaging of the skin and underlying 2cm of subdermal tissue. A safe and pain-free virtual biopsy at the click of the mouse. It is a flexible system with a choice of three easily interchangeable probes. Each works on a range of frequencies, centred on 18MHz, 35MHz or 45MHz. These give increased resolution but lesser penetration respectively. The two most popular configurations are:

Early detection of pressure ulcers and wound undermining

Episcan with 18MHz scanner probe

In nursing and care homes Episcan reveals pressure sores before any visible signs appear. Patients can be scanned routinely on admission to detect pressure ulcers which may already be forming, e.g. after long operations or under care of another home and those patients known to be at risk can be scanned quickly and simply to ensure that no problems are arising.

Where pressure ulcers do form they often cause undermining behind adjacent, apparently healthy skin, which then erupts later when healing seemed to have been under way.

Episcan can detect both early stage pressure ulcers and wound undermining.

Screening of patients on admission protects the care home against claims and litigation costs. Precautions can then minimise pain and discomfort to the patient and save nursing time and materials.

Dermatology including skin cancer, aesthetics and research and development

Episcan with 35MHz and/or 45MHz scanner probe

Episcan images the skin with resolution down to 40 microns, with colour or monochrome display options and linear or area measurements.

Episcan reveals sub-surface structures with great detail. The best images can then be saved as B-scans, along with digital photographs if desired.

To evaluate skin cancer lesions, virtual biopsies can be taken, without pain or risk to the patient. The lesion is not disturbed, as with conventional biopsies.
