Exoscope System for Videocapillaroscopy Assessment of Skin Microcirculation

Abstract

The correct diagnosis of diseases and their causes is the most important factor that directly affects the efficiency of medical treatment. There is a significant number of diseases, the differential diagnosis of which is very difficult. Some skin diseases are different in etiology and similar in appearance, for example, chronic spontaneous urticaria and urticaria vasculitis. In this paper, we propose an exoscope system for videocapillaroscopy assessment of skin microcirculation in an arbitrary areas of the human body. This device allows establishing a link between microcirculation in inflammatory tissue and the disease.
