The Institute for Diagnostic Imaging and Research of the Skin and Soft Tissues (IDIEP) is a high-technology center specialized in the imaging study of the skin and soft tissues. This center is a pioneer in color Doppler ultrasound imaging of the dermatological field.
The mission of this center is to support the early diagnosis of dermatological and soft tissue lesions by providing efficient, effective, personalized and high quality attention, using state of the art equipment and highly trained staff.
IDIEP is also committed to education and research by collaborating with other centers and universities worldwide.

The skin
is the largest organ in the human body and can be affected by multiple
diseases. In this center, imaging studies are performed on benign and malignant tumors of the skin and soft tissues, to detect them, characterize their type, define their real extent in the different anatomic layers and provide information on vascularity.
These imaging examinations allow a better planning of the treatments, decreasing the possibility of recurrences and improving the cosmetic prognosis of the patient.
Many other pathologies can be studied and followed up using this technology - such as vascular anomalies (for example: hemangiomas or vascular malformations), nail lesions, diseases of the oral cavity and the scalp.

This method also allows the study of complications of a wide range of cosmetic procedures such as filler injections or some plastic surgery problems.
Moreover, with ultrasound it is possible to discriminate the type and
extension of cosmetic fillers that have been previously injected. This
is very important for assessment of their management.
Since color Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive and safe technology there are no risks of complications that are usually present when other imaging techniques are used which imply the usage of intravenous contrast medium. This imaging method shows a very good balance between resolution and penetration without losing definition when the penetration is increased.

These imaging examinations are performed by a radiologist who is highly specialized in dermatological pathology. The medical director of the center is Dr. Ximena Wortsman, who has been working in this field for more than 12 years. She has many
publications in peer reviewed journals and two books entirely dedicated to
the application of variable frequency ultrasound in dermatology.
