A non-contrast MRI perfusion angiosome method was developed to assess skeletal muscle perfusion in feet. The study was performed in healthy volunteers and age-matched patients with diabetes mellitus, at rest and during a foot challenge. Significant attenuations in muscle perfusion reserve were observed in diabetic feet, even without developing foot ulcers.
