Study Summary
Scleroderma and other rheumatologic conditions can affect the skin. Scleroderma in particular involves skin thickening and hardening. Currently, looking at the degree that the skin is affected by scleroderma is measured based on a combination of a physical exam and a skin biopsy. The researchers propose to measure skin hardness using ultrasound imaging of elasticity. They will use a technique using acoustic radiation force impulse/shear wave velocity imaging , known as ARFI/SVI). The investigators hypothesize that ARFI/SVI may be able to distinguish between normal skin and skin affected by scleroderma.. This tool may also help to quantify the amount of fibrosis in the skin. This type of radiologic biomarker could be used to help confirm the diagnosis of scleroderma.
Primary Outcome
Skin stiffness was measured from the forearm and thigh of patients with scleroderma using ultrasound shear wave velocity imaging. Shear wave velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s).
