Capi Text v.1. (in Bulgarian)
Capi Text v.2. (in Bulgarian & English)
The program is
designed for medical specialists who perform
capillaroscopy in patients with microangiopathies
in order to facilitate the record and analysis of data obtained.
Capillaroscopy is a non-invasive method for investigation of finger nailfold capillaries by means of special microscope (capillaroscope). The findings observed are visually described according to several parameters: field visibility and background, capillary pattern (number, position, length, width and shape) and blood flow.
