New MRI contrast agent may improve artery blockage detection in legs
NCT ID NCT00707876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two MRI methods for finding narrowed or blocked arteries in the pelvis and legs of 119 people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). One method uses a special dye called ferumoxytol to make blood vessels stand out, while the other relies on natural blood flow. Both were compared to a standard X-ray technique. The goal was to see which MRI approach is more accurate and safer for diagnosing PAD.
