Methods for detecting impaired microvascular vasodilatory function in patients with diabetes may have the potential to identify sites at risk of ulceration prior to clinically identifiable signs. Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) uses patterned near-infrared and visible light spectroscopy to determine tissue oxygen saturation and hemoglobin distribution within the superficial and deep dermis, showing distinct microcirculatory and oxygenation changes that occur prior to neuropathic and neuroischemic ulceration.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Research designs and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>35 patients with diabetes mellitus and a history of diabetic foot ulceration were recruited for monthly imaging with SFDI.
