Blood cell analysis is one of the standard clinical tests. Despite the widespread use of
exogenous markers for blood cell quantification, label-free optical methods are still of high …

The capillary system immediately responds to many pathologies and environmental
conditions. Accurate monitoring of its functioning often enables early detection of various …

Automatic nailfold capillary segmentation is a challenging task owing to noise and large
variabilities in images caused by insufficient focusing and low visibility of the capillaries. This …

Quantification of optical absorption gaps in nailfold capillaries has recently shown promise
as a non-invasive technique for neutropenia screening. Here we demonstrate a low-cost …

We present a non-invasive, label-free method of imaging blood cells flowing through human
capillaries in vivo using oblique back-illumination capillaroscopy (OBC). Green light …

Microcirculation plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to living tissues and
in removing metabolic wastes from the human body. Monitoring the velocity of blood flow in …

To assess the microcirculation in a patient's capillaries, clinicians often use the valuable and
non-invasive diagnostic tool of nailfold capillaroscopy (NC). In particular, evaluating the …

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent cause of death
worldwide. As recently described, CAP shows different biological endotypes. Improving …

Oblique back-illumination capillaroscopy has recently been introduced as an efficient
method for non-invasive blood cell imaging in human capillaries. To apply this technique to …

Neutropenia is a condition identified by an abnormally low number of neutrophils in the
bloodstream and signifies an increased risk of severe infection. Cancer patients are …
