Methods Sixteen healthy subjects and 3 symptomatic PAD patients (ABI 0.4-0.9) underwent contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI of the calf before and after plantar-flexion exercise using an MR-compatible pedal at 50 rpm for up to 20 minutes or until limiting symptoms. Contrast-enhanced first-pass images were obtained on a 3T Siemens Trio scanner by infusion of 0.1mM/kg of gadolinium-DTPA followed by a 20 mL saline flush at 4 mL/ second. A spoiled gradient echo dual contrast sequence with slices positioned 32 mm apart allowed for simultaneous acquisition of arterial input and muscle perfusion images. Time-intensity curves (TIC) were generated using ARGUS software (Siemens) for arterial input and the muscle group with the highest signal intensity (tissue function, TF). PI was measured as ratio of the slopes of the TF TIC/arterial input TIC. PR was defined as exercise TF/resting TF. PIR was calculated as exercise PI/rest PI. Ten of the controls and all 3 patients underwent repeat studies on a separate day. For 7 controls and all patients, measurements were normalized to proton density.

Does measurement of exercise/rest calf muscle perfusion reserve with first-pass contrast-enhanced MRI in peripheral arterial disease perform better than exercise-only perfusion ?
