Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and diagnostic arteriography are all vascular diagnostic tools that should be included in modern vascular diagnostic laboratories. Before undertaking the establishment of such a facility, the vascular specialist or group needs to ensure safe patient care and the ability to provide such 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 political landscape in the Unites States of America, which may make such arrangements more complex in that country. |
