The aim of this study was to analyse the costs pertaining to the radiology department of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the evaluation of arterial disease of the lower limbs. Intra-arterial DSA costs more than MRA, mainly because of the higher costs of supplies used during the procedure and higher personnel costs (as a result of the longer duration of intra-arterial DSA).
