Nailfold capillaroscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows for the examination of the small blood vessels in the nailfold area of the fingers. This technique is commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, vascular disorders, and connective tissue diseases.
The procedure involves placing a drop of oil on the nailfold area and using a special microscope to observe the blood vessels. The images obtained can provide valuable information about the structure and function of the capillaries, including their density, morphology, and blood flow.
