New MRI contrast agent may improve artery blockage detection in legs

NCT ID NCT00707876

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
