Lower limb peripheral arterial disease (PAD) characterizes the impairment of blood flow to
extremities caused by arterial stenoses or occlusions. Evaluation of PAD is based on clinical …

The development of new radiotracers for PET and SPECT is central to addressing unmet
diagnostic needs related to systemwide trends toward molecular characterization and …

Background Arterial duplex ultrasound (DUS) and ankle-brachial indices (ABIs) are
accepted methods for assessing lower limb arterial perfusion. However, in a significant …

Imaging skeletal muscle function and metabolism, as reported by local hemodynamics and
oxygen kinetics, can elucidate muscle performance, severity of an underlying disease or …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disorder of non-coronary arteries that
is associated with vascular stenosis and/or occlusion. PAD affecting the lower extremities is …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of single-photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging of …

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of serial radiotracer-based imaging as a noninvasive
approach for quantifying volumetric changes in microvascular perfusion within angiosomes …

Objectives Current chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) diagnostics require expensive
equipment, using ionizing radiation or contrast agents, or summative surrogate methods …

Compression of the soft tissue between a support surface and a bony prominence has long
been the accepted primary mechanism of pressure injury (PrI) formation, with the belief that …

Background The angiosome concept is defined as the anatomical territory of a source artery
within all tissue layers. When applying this theory in vascular surgery, direct …
