Abstract
The present invention provides a method of determining whether a subject is suffering or at a risk of developing a peripheral arterial disease via Positron Emitting Tomography (PET) imaging technology. The method comprises administering a PET radionuclide into the subject via automated generation and/or infusion system, performing PET scan of the region of interest, automated assessment of the PET images, performing assessment and suggesting the most appropriate therapeutic and/or management options for the patients based on the severity score, provides an assessment of regional lower proximity perfusion and perfusion reserve, and/or regional and mean standardized uptake values (SUVs). More particularly, the method of image processing identifies the regional differences in SMP (Skeletal muscle perfusion) and SMPR (Skeletal muscle perfusion reserve) across calf muscles at rest and cuff-induced hyperemia.
