Figure 3

Representative 20‐MHz ultrasound images. (A) Elderly with skin tear (84‐year‐old), (B) elderly without skin tear (90‐year‐old) on dorsal forearm skin. Epidermis is marked with arrows (a). Subepidermal low‐echogenic band (SLEB) is marked with arrows (b). Dermis and subcutaneous layer is marked (c). Images (A) and (B) were used for results of each skin property presented in Table 4. SLEB was obtained from the numbers of low‐echogenic pixels (LEP: 0–30) extending 0·75 mm under skin surface.
