To review conventional and emerging magnetic resonance imaging techniques for evaluating macrovascular anatomy, microvascular perfusion, and skeletal muscle metabolism in peripheral arterial disease.
Synthesized evidence evaluating conventional macrovascular MRI modalities, including contrast-enhanced and noncontrast time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography.
Assessed emerging noncontrast functional imaging techniques such as arterial spin labeling, blood-oxygen-level dependent imaging, chemical exchange saturation transfer, and intravoxel incoherent motion.
Conventional imaging modalities focus solely on macrovascular anatomy, failing to evaluate microvascular tissue perfusion and metabolic alterations central to clinical symptoms.
Novel noncontrast techniques successfully characterize skeletal muscle perfusion, oxygenation kinetics, and plaque composition without requiring exogenous gadolinium contrast agents.
