Scientific reports·2026

Recent advancements in vascular imaging aid rheumatologists in diagnosing and monitoring rheumatic diseases. Techniques like angiography, nailfold microscopy, and thermography offer minimally invasive insights into vascular health.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Rheumatic diseases frequently impact the vasculature, either directly (e.g., vasculitis) or indirectly via accelerated atherosclerosis.
  • Significant progress has been made in vascular imaging techniques, with ongoing developments expected to further aid clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in vascular imaging techniques relevant to rheumatology.
  • To discuss the clinical and research applications of these imaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on large vessel imaging (X-ray, MR, CT angiography), nailfold microscopy, and thermography.
  • Description of methods and their applications in clinical practice and research.
  • Inclusion of Laser Doppler as a research technique.

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of imaging modalities for large vessel assessment.
  • Exploration of nailfold capillaroscopy and thermography for microvascular evaluation.
  • Presentation of Laser Doppler for specialized research applications.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced vascular imaging techniques improve the diagnosis and monitoring of rheumatic conditions.
  • Minimally invasive imaging methods are becoming increasingly crucial for rheumatologists.
  • Continued development in imaging promises further improvements in patient care and research.
