Abstract | Background: [ Results: Resting perfusion values in the muscle groups of the lower legs ranged from 1.18 to 5.38 mL/min/100 mL (ARG method). In the muscle groups of the feet, perfusion values ranged from 0.41 to 3.41 mL/min/100 mL (ARG method). Test-retest scans demonstrated a strong correlation and good repeatability for skeletal muscle perfusion with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.88 and 0.87 and a repeatability coefficient of 34% and 53% for lower legs and feet, respectively. An excellent correlation was demonstrated when comparing volume-of-interest-based methods (1TCM and ARG) (lower legs: ICC = 0.96, feet: ICC = 0.99). Parametric images were in excellent agreement with the volume-of-interest-based ARG method (lower legs: ICC = 0.97, feet: ICC = 0.98). Conclusion: Parametric images and volume-of-interest-based methods demonstrated comparable resting perfusion values in the lower legs and feet of healthy individuals. The largest variation was seen between individuals, whereas a smaller variation was seen between muscle groups. Repeated measurements of resting blood flow yielded a strong overall correlation for all methods. |
