Light test to measure blood flow in leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 99 years old
- You have at least one intact foot (no major amputation on that side)
- You can lift and hold your leg in certain positions as instructed
- You are willing to follow the study plan and sign a consent form

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 trial uses special scans to check blood flow and oxygen levels in the leg muscles of people with serious PAD who are about to have a procedure to open up their leg arteries.
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 special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this device can help doctors monitor blood flow more effectively during the operation, which could improve outcomes.
This trial uses a simple ultrasound test called Doppler to check blood flow in your ankle after leg artery surgery. It aims to see if this test can help monitor your recovery and spot problems early.
This trial uses a special imaging test (photoacoustic tomography) to see how well blood flows in the legs. It is for people with or without peripheral artery disease (PAD) to help improve diagnosis.
