Advancing the ultrasonographic study of skin and subcutaneous tissue — the international network bringing earlier diagnosis and precise, ultrasound‑guided treatment to dermatology.
Advancing the ultrasonographic study of skin and subcutaneous tissue — the international network bringing earlier diagnosis and precise, ultrasound‑guided treatment to dermatology.
ISCU — the International Society of Cutaneous Ultrasound — is a multidisciplinary international network dedicated to advancing the ultrasonographic study of skin and subcutaneous tissue. Our mission is to improve understanding of disease progression, from early to advanced stages, enabling earlier diagnosis and more accurate, ultrasound‑guided treatment.
The Academy brings that mission to a wider public: continuing education, research updates, and the conferences where the faculty below compare technique, case by case.
