    AbstractVasculopathy associated with connective tissue diseases (CTD) has diverse clinical presentations and complex underlying pathology. Existing imaging techniques remain inadequate for assessing vasculopathy in CTD, particularly in earlier stages of pathogenesis. Novel imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography, near-infrared spectroscopy and superb microvascular imaging, demonstrate potential in monitoring disease progression at earlier stages prior to systemic complications.© 2021 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
