    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical imaging
    • Medical diagnostics
    • Fluid dynamics

    Background:

    • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) affects connective tissue and blood flow, potentially leading to finger amputation.
    • Nailfold capillaroscopy images capillaries indirectly, but quantitative blood flow measurement for diagnosis is challenging.
    • Evaluating optical flow algorithms for SSc diagnosis is difficult without known blood flow data (ground truth).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel image model for generating realistic capillaroscopy videos with controlled blood flow.
    • To use the model to assess the impact of various parameters on blood flow estimation accuracy.
    • To provide a resource for developing robust diagnostic systems for SSc.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a synthetic image model for capillaroscopy video generation.
    • Inclusion of controllable parameters like flow rate, cell density, and contrast in the model.
    • Quantitative analysis of estimated blood flow based on model-generated data.

    Main Results:

    • The model successfully generates realistic capillaroscopy videos with known ground truth flow.
    • The study quantifies the influence of flow rate, cell density, and contrast on flow estimation.
    • The findings provide insights into the performance of optical flow algorithms under varying conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed image model serves as a valuable tool for validating optical flow algorithms in capillaroscopy.
    • This resource aids in the development of more accurate and reliable diagnostic methods for systemic sclerosis.
    • Improved algorithms can lead to better disease monitoring and patient management.
