Nailfold capillaroscopy pattern recognition using texture analysis

, 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.

Development of a core domain set for nailfold capillaroscopy reporting.

The peripheral microangiopathy may be well evaluated and studied by nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) which is a safe and non-invasive technique. NFC has been reported to have both diagnostic and prognostic values in patients presenting with Raynaud's ...

Assessment of the Relationship between Diabetic Retinopathy and Nailfold Capillaries in Type 2 Diabetics with a Noninvasive Method: Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2016
Background and Objectives. Nailfold capillaroscopy is an easy and noninvasive technique used to investigate dermal microvasculature. Traditional investigations of vascularity do not detect changes until they are well-established in type 2 diabetics.

Nailfold Capillary Morphology as a Potential Biomarker of Cardiovascular or Metabolic Risk in Children Aged 3–17 Years Prenatally Exposed to Alcohol

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2026.
Children with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) exhibit early alterations in their microvasculature. Using nailfold capillaroscopy, a noninvasive imaging technique, we compared nailfold capillary morphology in 27 children with PAE and 10 unexposed peers (3–17 years).

An Engineered Glove for the Objective Assessment of Hand Dexterity in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Objective Hand disability is a major musculoskeletal functional impairment in systemic sclerosis (SSc), but its objective assessment remains challenging. The validated Hand Test System (HTS) engineered glove has provided quantitative dexterity data in rheumatic diseases.

Capillaroscopy as a diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD): a case report

BMC Rheumatology, 2021
Background The concept of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) as a unique connective tissue disease has endured for half a century. Disease onset can be in adulthood (MCTD) or of juvenile onset (jMCTD) and is characterized by overlapping features of ...

Quantitative T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Iron Detection in Soft Tissue of the Fingers

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2026.
T2* MRI was evaluated for detecting iron in soft tissues of the fingers. After visual inspection of dual‐colored maps, multiple regions of interest were placed in the soft tissues at areas that indicated increased susceptibility. Lower T2* values, indicative of iron deposition, were detected in patients with microvasculopathy (right panel) but not in ...

Assessing the Health and Functionality of the Microcirculation Using Thermal Imaging

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
We review the techniques of thermal imaging for assessing the functional consequences of lowered blood flow in the microcirculation that accompanies many chronic, inflammatory diseases. A comparison is made with laser Doppler/speckle methods. ABSTRACT The microcirculation, composed of vessels below 100 μm in diameter, sustains tissue perfusion and ...

Clinical Associations of Anti‐RNPC3 Autoantibodies in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Objective The RNA‐binding region‐containing protein 3 (RNPC3) protein acts as a molecular bridge, promoting U11/U12 RNP complex formation. In previous reports, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with anti‐RNPC3 autoantibodies had an increased risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), severe gastrointestinal (GI) disease, and cancer.
