Nailfold Capillaroscopy in Diabetes Mellitus: Potential Technique for the Microvasculature Evaluation
The capillary loop consists of an arterial or afferent branch and a venous or efferent branch. The main parameters to be evaluated are: length, diameter, density, venous plexus and morphological abnormalities. These elements should be evaluated in the distal row or near the nailfold. The normal number of capillaries per millimeter is from seven to twelve arranged in an inverted U-shape (Figure 1).

متن کاملAutomated Categorisation of Nailfold Capillaroscopy Images
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. While automated approaches to analysing NC images are relatively rare, they are typically based on extraction and analysis of individual capi...
