Peripheral artery disease is a major public health concern particularly among the elderly. Although measures such as ankle-brachial index and segmental pressures have been used to characterize disease severity, MRI techniques allow us to assess subclinical vascular function and morphology and may help improve our understanding of vascular adaptations. In a small pilot study, we test whether hyperemia-induced BOLD oxygenation changes are a viable measure of tissue oxygenation in the foot and if they represent the reduced oxygenation seen in PAD.
