The pattern of PAD in a patient with diabetes. Maximal intensity projection image of lower limb CTA following contrast administration (a) with three-dimensional reformatted image over bony structures (b) demonstrates a moderate burden of atheromatous and atherosclerotic plaques causing multi-segmental stenoses predominantly at a proximal distribution of the lower extremity (arrowheads). However, below-knee vessels reveal a more extensive burden of PAD with segmental occlusions involving bilateral posterior tibial and peroneal arteries (arrows).
