Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1117/12.2569772
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The possibilities of optical capillaroscopy to determine microcirculatory disorders are considered. Methods for evaluating microcirculation by measuring the size of a pillar and its departments, as well as the speed of capillary blood flow, which may indicate a state of microcirculation in general are proposed. The physical model of the capillary is considered, as well as the classification of the stages of microcirculation disturbance, which is used to form a medical conclusion about the severity of hemodynamic disorders. Also, for the system of computer capillaroscopy, methods for calibrating and segmenting images of microvessels are proposed.
