Examples of the appearance of the three lesion types and the three scan types are shown. Although SKs can sometimes be recognized on RTI by visual inspection, we noted this is not the case with acanthotic keratoses. Similarly, lesions in the BPL category cannot be reliably differentiated from melanoma upon visual inspection of the images. Although elusive to the human eye, the acoustic differences were numerically quantifiable making differentiation entirely objective.
