[Audio] We will be discussing the preliminary experience of using ultrasonography in the oral cavity, as conducted by the Department of Precision Medicine at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, Italy. Specifically, the focus is on high frequency ultrasound, a non-invasive imaging modality that uses high-frequency soundwaves to produce images of the skin and adjacent tissues. This method enables accurate assessment of skin thickness, echogenicity, and vascularity, which is important for understanding many oral cavity-related conditions and treatments.. 

Scene 4

High frequency ultrasound (HFUS) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be used to assess post-radiotherapic skin changes. HFUS uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the skin and underlying tissues. It is a safe and reliable method for evaluating skin thickness, echogenicity, and vascularity.

[Audio] Ultrasonography is being increasingly utilized in the oral cavity due to its multiple functions. The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, Italy conducted a preliminary exploration of its use in the Department of Precision Medicine. This exploration established that ultrasonography is capable of measuring skin thickness, evaluating skin echogenicity, and assessing skin vascularity. Through these measurements, it is possible to gain a quantitative understanding of the skin, allowing for tracking of changes over time and assessment of treatment response. Furthermore, its use in determining echogenicity can aid in identifying areas of inflammation or fibrosis, while its use in evaluating vascularity can aid in recognizing ischemia or hyperemia.. 

Scene 5

Quantitative assessment of skin thickness: HFUS can be used to measure the thickness of the skin at multiple sites. This information can be used to track changes in skin thickness over time and to assess the response to treatment.
 Evaluation of skin echogenicity: HFUS can assess the echogenicity of the skin, which is a measure of the density of the tissue. Changes in echogenicity can be used to identify areas of inflammation, fibrosis, and other pathological changes.
 Assessment of skin vascularity: HFUS can also be used to assess the vascularity of the skin. This information can be used to identify areas of ischemia or hyperemia.

From January 2022 to April 2023, twelve patients were selected for this trial, where they underwent an intraoral UHFUS examination. Following this, an anatomopathological evaluation was done and compared with the UHFUS's findings. This study provides valuable insight into the role of UHFUS in providing diagnosis and care for oral conditions.. 

Scene 6

Twelve patients, aged 48 to 74 years, presenting with oral cavity, gum, or tongue lesions between January 2022 and April 2023 suspected of having OSCC were examined by a skilled examiner using intraoral UHFUS prior to surgery. Subsequently, an anatomopathological examination was performed. UHFUS features were then compared to the histological findings.

[Audio] "This study found evidence that the use of Ultrasonography in the oral cavity can be useful in monitoring oral tumor progression. In particular, the results indicated a positive correlation between UHFUS measurements and histology for both tumor thickness and depth of invasion. The study showed that UHFUS slightly overestimated these measurements, but that the use of this technology can provide valuable insight into clinical assessment and management of oral lesions.. 

Scene 12

The study found a positive correlation between UHFUS measurements and histology for both TT and DOI, although UHFUS slightly overestimated the latter.

[Audio] Ultrasonography has proven itself as an imaging method which does not involve any invasive treatments in order to view and examine lesions of the oral cavity. At the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli in Naples, Italy, we have observed a steady corrrelation between ultrahigh frequency ultrasound pictures and the pathologic anatomy of mouth lesions. This system may be a great help in diagnosing and treating oral lesions, and our results point to its potential applicability in the evaluation of oral squamous cell carcinomas.. 

Scene 13

Emerging as a non-invasive method, UHFUS has proven useful for investigating both endo- and exophytic lesions within the oral cavity. The mainlimitation lies in the inability to image lesions located in the posterior aspect of the hard palate or soft palate. Our preliminary experience, although limited in samplesize, has demonstrated consistent correspondence between UHFUS and pathological anatomy. These findings highlight the potential of UHFUS as a valuable technique for evaluating oral lesions and offer guidance for its inclusion within diagnostic and surgical management protocols. In conclusion, intraoral UHFUS has presented promising potential for OSCC due to its significant correlation with histology.
