Imaging of the nail unit in psoriatic patients:A systematic scoping review of techniques and terminology.

Background: The growing interest in the visualization of psoriatic nail unit changes has led to the discovery of an abundance of image characteristics across various modalities.

Objective: To identify techniques for non-invasive imaging of nail unit structures in psoriatic patients and review extracted image features to unify the diverse terminology.

Methods: For this systematic scoping review, we included studies available on PubMed and Embase, independently extracted image characteristics, and semantically grouped the identified features to suggest a preferred terminology for each technique.
