(A) The user interface of the tissue ultrasound palpation system (TUPS) software shows the ultrasound echo train. The first echo is associated with the ultrasound transducer-skin interface while the second one represents the tissue-bone interface. The thickness of the heel pad is presented by the distance between the first and second echoes. (B) A typical ultrasound image shows the cross-section of the heel tissues. The tissue interfaces corresponding to the echoes obtained by TUPS for measuring thickness are indicated.
