This review discusses, from a practical point of view, the most common imaging techniques and their applications in nail pathologies with some technical considerations. There are several imaging techniques for studying the nail, and all of them require proper devices and trained operators. The highest axial resolution and a more extensive range of applications are provided by ultrasound, which currently is the first-choice imaging technique for evaluating nail conditions. A correlation of state-of-the-art clinical and imaging figures supports the review of this topic.
本综述从实际应用的角度讨论了最常见的成像技术及其在指甲病变中的应用，并涉及一些技术考量。有多种用于研究指甲的成像技术，所有这些技术都需要合适的设备和经过培训的操作人员。超声提供了最高的轴向分辨率和更广泛的应用范围，目前是评估指甲状况的首选成像技术。最新的临床和成像数据的相关性为该主题的综述提供了支持。
