- Abstract
The article presents a retrospective study examining whether high-resolution ultrasound is capable of detecting pressure ulcers (PUs) prior to the development of clinical signs. The need for such a study is mentioned, noting its ability to provide data which will enable the creation of a standardised method for assessing PUs through ultrasonography of subcutaneous tissue.
