Neurofibromas (NFs) are benign tumours arising from a nerve sheath, which are present in nearly all patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). High-frequency ultrasound (HFU) systems, using frequencies over 20 MHz, were developed to improve visualization of skin tumours by means of increased resolution.
