Imaging blood flow in leg artery disease using a scan
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special “radiotracer” scan to look at how well blood flows through the arteries in the legs. It may help researchers better understand circulation problems from peripheral artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- If you have leg artery disease: you need prior evidence of blocked leg arteries
- You must be able to consent and return for follow-up visits
- You cannot be pregnant or nursing
- If you’re a healthy control: you must have no known or prior diagnosis of leg artery disease

This trial studies plaque activity in leg arteries using a new imaging method to understand artery disease better. It may help people with peripheral artery disease get more targeted treatment.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
This study uses painless, noninvasive tests to measure blood flow in people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. It may help doctors better understand circulation problems and track blood flow without procedures.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
