Overview

Nail-fold capillaroscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of scleroderma. Findings on nail-fold capillaroscopy diagnostic of raynaud's phenomenon include nail-fold capillary abnormalities, capillary dilatation, and capillary loop drop-out.

Other Imaging Findings

  • Nail-fold capillaroscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of scleroderma. Findings on nail-fold capillaroscopy diagnostic of raynaud's phenomenon include:[1]
    • Nail-fold capillary abnormalities
    • Capillary dilatation
    • Capillary loop drop-out
  • Nail-fold capillaroscopy:
    • Non-invasive technique that facilitates in vivo assessment of cutaneous microvasculature
