The objective of this study was to develop a non-contrast MRI based oximetry approach to assess the skeletal muscle microcirculation in diabetic and healthy feet. In both healthy and subjects with diabetes, the feasibility of the foot oximetry was examined when the subjects were at rest and during a toe-flexion isometric exercise. The percent difference in the areas of the oxygen extraction fraction within the 0.7 – 1.0 range between rest and exercise was significantly different between healthy subjects and subjects with diabetes. This is the first MRI foot oximetry developed for assessing regional skeletal muscle oxygenation.
