Assessing Diabetic Foot Ulcer Microcirculation With High-frequency Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound

H-CEUS score

The objective of this observational study is to investigate and validate the utility of
 high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging technology for dynamic observation of the blood perfusion
 process at the site of ulcer wounds in real-time, focusing on patients with Diabetic Foot
 Ulcers (DFU). The primary research questions it seeks to address are as follows:
 
 - What are the dynamic characteristics of vascular dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds in
 patients with DFU under high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging?
 
 - Is High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) technology feasible for
 effectively visualizing the microcirculation of ulcer wounds in patients with DFU?
 Participants will Undergo high-frame-rate ultrasound imaging for real-time observation
 of blood perfusion dynamics at the site of ulcer wounds.
 
 Researchers will compare ulcerated sites with normal sites to see whether the use of
 High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (H-CEUS) has any discernible impact on the
 visualization of microcirculation in ulcer wounds.
