New Light-Based scan could spot hidden leg artery disease

NCT ID NCT06579326

First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

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 improve diagnosis of lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), a condition that often goes undetected. Researchers will scan 200 people, including those with LEAD and healthy volunteers, to see if PACT can provide clearer pictures than current methods.
