Anti-Mi2β Dermatomyositis in Active Disease
There is marked capillary loss (4.8/mm), architectural disorganization, frequent dilations, giant capillaries, and abnormal/branched shapes, indicating severe active microangiopathy.
Recorded measurements
- Capillary density
- 4.79capillaries/mm
- Enlarged capillaries
- 59.44%
- Giant capillaries
- 8.84%
- Hemorrhages
- 0.12/mm
Values from the saved analysis: density and hemorrhages per total analyzed length; percentages of the total capillary count. These are not measurements of an individual image and may differ from averages across fields.
