DERMCUP: High resolution ultrasound scanner for skin imaging
 |  |
| DERMCUP | DERMCUP portable |
Ultrasound scanner dedicated to dermis
Dermcup allows the acquisition in real time and in-vivo of high resolution skin vertical cross sections: 16 mm x 12 mm
Dermis is echogenic. The echoes come from the network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers. The lesions (tumors, cysts, angiomas…) have a hypoechoic appearance.
High resolution echography for dermatology
Thank to its high frequency, Dermcup offers a high resolution:- Axial: 30 10-3mm
- Lateral: 120 10-3 mm
DERMCUP is well adjusted for visualization of lesions in dermis.
Image acquisition in real time
The acquisition frequency is 10 images per second.Ergonomic probes
During the examination, the probe is easily moved on the skin.It is very comfortable to handle.
Two probes are available
Sectorial probe for mouth 
Standard linear probe
Image library
MelanomaImpairment of the horizontal structure of the skin with the presence of a homogeneous very hypoechoic lesion.
Ulcerated melanoma on the forearm infiltrating the dermis (the histological thickness was 3.7 mm, measured at 3.68 mm on echography image).
Mélanoma of the ear
Impairment of the horizontal structure of the skin with the presence of a homogeneous very hypoechoic lesion (arrow).

Basocellular carcinoma on the forehead (above the temporal artery)
Basocellular carcinoma on the face above the mastoid
Superficial carcinoma
Pigmented carcinoma
Compound nevus of the dermis
