Abstract:.SignificanceSkin capillaries are non-invasively observable; their structure and blood flow can reflect tissue and systemic conditions. Quantitative analysis of video-capillaroscopy images yields novel diagnostic methods. Because the capillary structure is heterogeneous, analyzing more capillaries can increase the evaluation reliability.AimWe developed a system that can observe and quantify numerous capillaries and verified the performance on human skin.ApproachWe developed a portable video-capillaroscope with… Show more
