Description
Nuran Golbasi and co-authors test sound wave imaging as a gentle way to judge nail disease. Their 2026 study uses quantitative ultrasound on finger and toe nails. Nail disease is hard to name because signs overlap. A biopsy is invasive. The team scanned patients with a fungal nail illness, with swelling based nail disease, and healthy controls.
In all, 26 patients and 152 nails were scanned. Raw sound data gave three measures of tissue form. Sick finger nails showed a clear drop in one measure, largest in fungal cases. Other measures rose in set patterns, one in fungal disease and one in a scarring nail illness. Toe nail results are also reported. The authors test whether the method is steady and fit for clinic use.
