How to perform and interpret capillaroscopy

Best Practice and Research in Clinical Rheumatology, 2013
The essence of capillaroscopy is to examine, noninvasively and safely the morphology of nailfold dermal papillary capillaries using a magnification system (microscopical lenses). Capillaroscopy may be performed with lenses with low (×20) and with high magnification (×200 up to ×600).

Capillaroscopy

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2008
Capillaroscopy is the most reliable way to distinguish between primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) through identification of an early pattern of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The presence of giant capillaries and microhaemorrhages on nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is sufficient to identify the scleroderma pattern (early), and an increase in

Capillaroscopy

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2005
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is the most common and significant clinical condition with an indication for a microvascular analysis to be carried out as soon as possible. Microvascular involvement is a key feature of RP and several rheumatic diseases are characterised by the presence of RP.

Capillaroscopy: questions and answers

Clinical Rheumatology, 2007
Capillaroscopy is an essential imaging technique used in the study of microcirculation and one of the best diagnostic tools for the early detection of systemic sclerosis and related conditions. However, despite the increasing interest in capillary microscopy, there is still a surprising discrepancy between its potential application and its still ...

[Nailfold capillaroscopy].

Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2014
Capillaroscopy is performed to evaluate the morphology, frequency and blood flow of nailfold capillaries as well as relevant extracapillary changes in rheumatic conditions. The main indication is the differentiation between primary and secondary Raynaud's phenomenon.

Nailfold capillaroscopy: tips and challenges

Clinical Rheumatology, 2022
Although nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) appears to have a bright future in clinical practice, the lack of familiarity with the technique and how to interpret its outcomes is major barriers which have made nailfold capillaroscopy an underutilized method in standard clinical practice.

Office capillaroscopy in systemic sclerosis

Clinical Rheumatology, 2006
The aims of this study are to assess the reliability of two office techniques, the ophthalmoscope and the Dermlite dermatoscope, and to detect nailfold capillaroscopy abnormalities in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Two separate studies were performed. In the first, the nailfolds of two fingers on one hand of 13 SSc patients and two normals were examined by ...

Enhancement of nailfold capillaroscopy images

Proceedings of 2012 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2012
Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is a non-invasive imaging technique employed to assess the condition of blood capillaries in the nailfold. It is particularly useful for early detection of scleroderma spectrum disorders and evaluation of Raynaud's phenomenon.
