Abstract

This chapter focuses on the most common applications of ultrasound of the nail and the advances in this field. It also analyzes some technical considerations and the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of the nail.

Currently, there are several indications of ultrasound examinations, such as location alterations, inflammatory diseases, tumors, and pseudotumors.

The information is presented from a practical perspective and is supported by state-of-the-art color Doppler ultrasound images and clinical and ultrasonographic correlation of the images.
