Abstract
The regional blood flow (RBF) in the dorsum of the foot was measured by the transient thermal clearance method. The ratio of the blood pressure and the RBF, which is the specific microvascular resistance (SMR), is significantly different between diabetic and nondiabetic patients. The absolute quantitative assessment of the RBF and SMR allows long-term followup of patients, as well as comparison of measurements among different patients. It has potential clinical application in plastic and reconstructive surgery, vascular surgery, orthopedics and pharmacology.<>
