High‐frequency ultrasonography but not 930‐nm optical coherence tomography reliably evaluates melanoma thickness <i>in vivo</i> : a prospective validation study

Abstract

HFUS is a reliable and reproducible noninvasive method for assessing melanoma thickness. Routine use of HFUS may allow single-step excision of equivocal melanocytic lesions, with surgical margins determined by in vivo assessment of tumour thickness.
