Abstract
Conventional pulse echo ultrasound equipment was modified to provide resolution capable of distinguishing the interfaces in burnt skin. The identification of these interfaces allowed a quantitative assessment of the depth of a burn. Ultrasound is non-invasive and accurate, and so is highly acceptable for clinical use.
