Abstract
Among radiologists, MRA and CTA have replaced DCA in diagnosing peripheral arterial disease. Although overall utilization of DCA has remained steady, it has risen sharply among cardiologists and surgeons, while dropping sharply among radiologists. Given the increased utilization of DCA among cardiologists and surgeons despite noninvasive alternatives, self-referral continues to be of concern in the setting of increasing health care costs.
