Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Assessment of FDG uptake by PET imaging along plaques in the distal vasculature of the lower limbs that is compared with presence of atherosclerotic lesions within the same individual (as determined by conventional CT scanning). 2. Difference in the distribution of FDG uptake by endothelium (at baseline vs. after temporary occlusion by use of a tourniquet for 3 minutes) for each predefined segment along the distal vasculature. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To evaluate whether FDG uptake significantly correlates to vascular plaques on CT 2. To evaluate whether a FDG PET-derived ischemic border zone correlate with conventional clinical scores of ischemia | — |
