We’re excited to highlight new work by Ali and collaborators, presented at IEEE IUS 2025, showcasing the potential of Super-Resolution Ultrasound using Erythrocytes (SURE) for non-invasive skin imaging. In this study, the team demonstrated that microvascular density and velocity maps of a human mole can be obtained without contrast agents, using just two seconds of data acquisition. The results, captured with a Verasonics research scanner, revealed vessels as small as 65 µm with flow velocities down to 3.2 mm/s, outperforming conventional Power Doppler images acquired on a clinical system. This proof-of-concept shows that SURE can visualize the fine vasculature of benign moles, offering a promising step toward non-invasive differentiation between benign and malignant lesions in dermatological diagnostics.
