Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a vascular disorder that results in progressive narrowing of arteries of the lower extremities as a result of atherosclerosis. Although the initial evaluation for PAD consists of a basic physical examination including ankle-brachial indices and segmental pressures, many patients will require imaging to definitively establish the presence of PAD, and to provide an anatomic “roadmap” to aid in the performance of revascularization therapies.1
