The study of Magnetic Resonance imaging for Peripheral Artery Disease (MRiPAD, 2012-2015) aimed to compare the characteristics of femoral artery atherosclerotic disease between subjects with and without diabetes. We planned to recruit 80 PAD patients (40 diabetic patients and 40 non-diabetic patients) and perform multicontrast 3D MR vessel wall imaging for femoral arteries.
