Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of ultrasound perfusion imaging technique for assessing the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and monitoring its response to therapy by measuring changes in microvessel alterations and perfusion variations.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female volunteers \> 18 years old. * Male and female volunteers with symptom of claudication and suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who are scheduled for vascular testing. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with gangrene. * Patients with lower leg amputation. * Having ulcer and any health condition that does not allow proper use of ultrasound scanning. * People considered in "vulnerable" populations.

What they're measuring

Aim 1: Determine the efficacy of ultrasonic perfusion imaging for early detection of PAD. The goal is to quantify the perfusion of cuff muscle in patients with lower leg claudication and compare the results to those obtained in healthy individuals
