� H Highigh Frequency & Resolution Ultrasound of the Skin

The DUB SkinScanner systems are high frequency and high resolution diagnostic ultrasound systems®

for use in dermatology, cosmetics field and pharmaceutical and clinical research. Different models,versions, frequency ranges and options are available for all requirements. Today the 22 MHz diagnosticultrasound is a wide spread method for non-invasive skin analysis.

After 10 years of broad experience in medical ultrasonography, including an intensive research anddevelopment program, tpm was proud to introduce the first commercially available A/B digitalultrasound system - our DUB 20 in 1986 designed especifically for dermatology and cosmetic use with

®

20 MHZ.

The finest resolution and superior quality of signal processing and image analysis are pre-eminent forthe systems uDUB . The DUB provides continuo s and rapid high resolution ultrasonography to

® ®

exacting scientists. The already large range of functions has been stretched out in the Windowsversion since 2001. With the easy- to-handle window technology the DUB for Windows is easy to

®

operate.

Our product portfolio offers frequencies from 18 MHz to 100 MHzmostly covered by portable DUB USB devices. This broad range of®

devices provides an resolution (axial) from 88 m to 16 m.µ µ

The easy-to-operate DUB for Windows software works with all®

Microsoft operating systems from Windows XP to Windows 7 with32 and 64 Bit.

2004 the first DUB as a USB version was introduced: the DUB -USB.® ®

From now on it is possible to attach a high frequency high resolutionultrasound imaging system to an existing PC, controlled by theDUB for Windows software.®

In the DUB -USB75 has come into our product line, which2007 ®

extends the USB systems to frequency range from 18 MHz to75 MHz. In the same year the very high frequency system with100 MHz was introduced.

Another improvement came in . With the optional Vacu Elasto2008Pump for the USB systems it is also possible to measure the skinelasticity with high frequency ultrasound.

Scan viewing modes

� A-Scan

� RF-Scan

� B-Scan

� M-Scan

The M-Scan shows a single A-Scan line against the time.These pictures are mainly used for skin elasticitymeasurement in combination with the Vacu ElastoPump. Pressure and timings are adjustable as well as thepossibility to switch between spontaneous- and rising-mode.

A complete B-Scan is built up from 384/768 A-Scan lines.Converted into one of 7 available color scales and 2different transformations (Hilbert and Full-Wave) atypical high frequency ultrasound image for clinicalevaluation is created.

The RF-Scan shows the original raw data of the recordedultrasound image. All calculations and different viewingswill always be calculated by the SkinScannerDUB®

software with these data format to ensure highestpicture quality.

A complete ultrasound picture is assembled together outof many single A-Scan lines. With the SkinScannerDUB®

software it is possible to view all single A-lines. Togetherwith the Sum-A functionality the skin thickness can easilybe measured.
