Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods can accurately quantify atherosclerotic plaque in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in patients with PAD. These measures can be performed rapidly and reproducibly with an intraclass correlation of 0.997 for intraobserver reproducibility, 0.987 for intraobserver, and 0.996 for test-retest reproducibility, Plaque regression with statins have been shown using these techniques in PAD.
