Summary

This study is testing a new imaging technique called photoacoustic tomography (PACT) to see blood vessels and oxygen levels in the feet without using dyes or needles. The goal is to help doctors diagnose lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) more accurately and earlier. Researchers will scan 200 people, including those with LEAD and healthy volunteers, to see if PACT adds useful information beyond current tests.
