Abstract

Objective To investigate the application value of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis of lower extremity diabetic foot (DF). Methods MRA and DSA were performed in 28 patients who were diagnosed with lower extremity DF. The diagnostic results of DSA were taken as the golden standard to compare the diagnostic results. Results Among 28 patients in the study, there were 6 anatomical segments, showing a total of 168 lower limb arterial blood vessels; DSA was taken as the golden standard and 162 segments diagnosed by MRA were up to the standard. The accordance rate, sensitivity and specificity were 96.434%, 97.85% and 94.67% respectively. The accordance rate of MRA in the diagnosis of the degree of lower extremity arterial vascular lesions was 87.64%. Conclusion MRA is an important non-invasive imaging method in the clinical diagnosis of lower extremity diabetic foot
