Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Computed tomographic angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and diagnostic arteriography are all vascular diagnostic tools that may be included in modern vascular diagnostic laboratories. Before undertaking the establishment of such an all-purpose diagnostic, and possibly interventional, facility the vascular specialist or group needs to ensure safe patient care and the ability to provide these diagnostic tests and procedures without incurring a financial loss. This article will detail one method of setting up such a facility and suggest some other approaches. It will also introduce some of the issues that may change the legislative landscape in the Unites States of America (USA) and may make these arrangements more complex in that country.
